And who proposed that we ditch the existing man system? It sure wasn't me. I think you missed the main point. The point is to provide an interface to our own hypertext document (faq's, tutorials, GNU info pages and such) and possibly provide an *alternate* interface to the manual pages. I might suggest that this whole bag of things (man pages, tutorials, FAQ, GNU info pages and man(1), lynx and httpd) be wrapped up as a optional "documentation" package. -john === jfieber@cs.smith.edu ================================================ =================================== Come up and be a kite! --K.
