>Description:

ports/games/xscorch tries to read its man page and use it as source
for online help texts.  This doesn't work when the man page is installed
compressed, as it is now.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install and start xscorch, open one of the configuration dialogs and
position the cursor over a text field or a radio button.
The window that now pops open displays the error message
"Cannot open help file /usr/X11R6/man/man6/xscorch.6."

>Fix:

Install the man page uncompressed:
