Yes. The previous binary archive (234320 bytes) did not contain man
pages.  And I always remove a previous release (using its .mft file)
before installing a new one.

The newly released archive (305225 bytes) has man pages for five
programs (locatedb, xargs, locate, updatedb, find) in man/cat1 and
man/cat5.

This was very strange.  After unzipping the archive (and before updating
`dir') just typing `info find' produced a crash and stack trace.  Yet
the headers in the .info files from the old and new distro are identical.
I can't figure this one.  I'm away from my DJGPP box or I would run some
additional tests.
