How do you intend to display .Pxr? How will it be made clear to the user that this might not be installed? The only thing I can really think of is appending "P" or "ports" to the manual section. So .Pxr cvsup 1 Would be displayed as cvsup(1-ports) or cvsup(1P) or something. A patch to intro() could then explain this convention. Do you have any other ideas? - Murray To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
