vax 4.2 bsd unix There is a bug in /usr/doc/run for ptour and ctour. The line for ptour (shown below) merrily tries to run the formatter on $* instead of the output of the refer. Not good. refer -e /usr/doc/porttour/p* | $fmtr $pkg $* The line for ctour needs to include a pipe for refer, I think, because as is it prints a pile of gibberish at the top of the first page. When I prepended a "refer -e", the gibberish went away, although the references page turned up blank. $fmtr $pkg $i /usr/doc/ctour/cdoc* This is particularly annoying because README in that directory contains the sentence, Precise incantations are engraved in ./run. This gives me a really good feeling every time I read any of that fine Unix documentation. (So does the 4.1 version of tty(4)). David Chase, Rice University
