>Description:

	Coming from SunOS I expected `catman -w' to create the whatis datebase
	files.  FreeBSD's catman doesn't support this.  No big deal.  I just added
	verbage to this affect for others comming from SunOS, et. al.

>How-To-Repeat:

	catman -w

>Fix:

*** catman.1.orig	Mon Jan 22 23:16:12 1996
--- catman.1.mod	Mon Jan 22 23:15:12 1996

  Very fast if all man pages already formatted.
  
+ Does not support -w option to create the whatis database files like

+ 
  .Sh BUGS
  .Xr man 1
  is a setuid program.  Be careful that user
