- WOW, that's a fast man. I must have uploaded this only minutes before
- ... anyway, you have probably viewed the included man pages on the
- screen? Then you get a few warnings about missing characters that are
- not supported on the ascii (or cp437 or cp850?) device but only on dvi
- or PostScript. That's normal.
-
- What man pages fail? I included a few from the BSD release because the
- GNU groff mages frequently refer to them.
