[comp.os.minix] man page desperation. . .

lips@vaxb.acs.unt.edu (05/15/91)

I haven't seen the FAQ list in quite some time, so I don;t know if this is on
it or not:

How on earth do I get MAN pages set up on the system?  I've gone through just
about everything I can think of, from file-naming convention changes to
nroff-ing .man pages and putting them in the /usr/man/... directories, etc.,
etc., etc.  WHat am I missing?  I don;t know.  Would someone be kind enough to
let me know the steps to get MAN working properly?

I'm greatly appreciative of any assistance in advance, as I'm ripping my hair
out over this...

Lips,
  I found a set of MS-Dos specific man pages the other day.  If you're still
having troubles getting it to work, let me know, and I'll mail you those files.
