I seem to have missed the problem here.
I built man as one of the first add-ons to both my B19 and B20 setups with
little or no problems.
All it seemed to need was terminfo, ncurses and groff. Oh, and I think I had
to gzip the man pages themselves.
Works just fine.
Thanks again for such a great toolkit.
Cheers,
Stephen.
