- Just a thought, but wouldn't it be a better idea to use compress
- instead of pack for the manual pages? Not only is compress better
- with compression, zcat is faster in getting the text out for the
- same file when compared with pcat.

- (BTW.. I had a simple awk script to convert packed manuals to
- compressed ones, maintaining all the links,etc... If yer interested,
- mail me.)
