I think this got messed up in the ncoast->uunet move. I had asked Brandon to sit on this a bit ... but it snuck out. This program won't handle preformatted SysV manual pages correctly. It wants, for example, the preformatted "ls" manual page to be in: /usr/man/u_man/cat1/ls.1 rather than /usr/man/catman/u_man/man1/ls.1 However if you are running SCO XENIX, I recommend that you take a look at this. It allows you to use the distributed manual pages as is, but organize your local manual pages in a more reasonable way. Right now the SysV compatibility fix is a couple of items down in the to-do queue. If there is interest in an SysV-compatible version, I'd be glad to issue an update in the not-too-distant future. -- Chip Rosenthal chip@vector.UUCP | Choke me in the shallow water Dallas Semiconductor 214-450-5337 | before I get too deep.

In the UNIX distribution, there are u_man, p_man, a_man, and we use to add l_man. Each one of these directories contains an arbitrary number of man?'s (man1, man2, man3 etcetc). Furthermore, if the filename of the man page ends with ".z", the file is assumed to be compacted using System V's "pack" command. -- Robert Claeson, ERBE DATA AB, P.O.
