One of the programs I'm using isn't picking up the right man page...it keeps picking an old version. I've removed all old versions, but man $program keeps showing the old version. Unless I missed one somewhere, I believe I need to rebuild the man page indicies. How do I do this? I've looked at makewhatis and whatis, but those don't seem to do exactly what I think needs to be done. I'm reluctant to mess with either until I know what they'll do. Thanks. - ------------------------------ Mike Loiterman grantADLER Tel: 630-302-4944 Fax: 773-868-0071 Email: mike@ascendency.net PGP Key 0xD1B9D18E -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.0.2 Comment: This message has been digitally signed by Mike Loiterman iQA/AwUBP2+4Y2jZbUnRudGOEQJdJgCg0pZ5R7Imc/JDlL7URUI0BViKb3QAn1Op AV1ZHLTgyBcPOGjytVU8UgfU =H+5l -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
