The typical indication of working cat file caching is that (after removing e.g. /usr/share/man/cat1/ls.1.gz) if you type `man ls', you see the ``Formatting man page...'' message. This message doesn't appear if the cat page is not about to be stored. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
