This is an update of man 1.3 to MSDOS/DJGPP.


  DJGPP specific changes.
  =======================

  Nowadays the canonical place where info docs and man pages are stored is in
  /dev/env/DJDIR/share/info and /dev/env/DJDIR/share/man.  Neither the INFOPATH
  nor the MANPATH environment variables in /dev/env/DJDIR/djgpp.env reflect
  this fact.  Of curse, the user can edit the file and modify the variables
  accordingly but that is not the goal here.  Inspecting the source code of
  man 1.3 shows that the hard coded defaults for MANPATH specify paths that no
  longer are canonicals anymore.  The code has been changed in such a way that
  the defaults that will be used, if MANPATH is not set, will honor the actual
  DJGPP installation tree layout, and if MANPATH is set and the actual
  canonical paths have not been included, they will be added to the search
  path.  This automaticaly avoids the need of user manipulation of djgpp.env.
  As usual the changes are documented by the /contrib/diffs file.



  The port consists of two packages that can be downloaded from
  ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2007-08-29):
