Nroff is not part of the System V distribution. Even when it is some of the macro pacakages that you BSD type are use to are not present. When you post a man page for something like 'less' you MUST post the formated version. -- Alan Fargusson. { ihnp4, amdahl, mot }!drivax!alan

Let us also add to that that they **also** post the "nroff" source, so that anybody can make ravisions and adapt the program to their system, and modify the manual to reflect the situation. I think it would be horrible if someone posted a program which uses the file "/etc/xxx", and on a given system it must use "/etc/yyy", and the manual pages STILL CLAIM it is in xxx!!!!!
