- hi,
-
- I installed groff 1.05 today in hope of reading the manuals in a readable
- form instead of just a bunch of unreadable formatting commands etc.
- However, instead of being able to do man groff and get the readable
- form of the formatted document, what I got was what I got when I didn't
- have groff installed.
-
- I would appreciate any tippers as to how to get groff working with man...or
- rather, man working with groff. The compilation of groff went fine,
- and I do not know what version of man I am using...
-
- If anybody has any idea what I am doing wrong, I would really appreciate it..
- Thanks very much...
-
