It's giving the following error: /usr/local/bin/groff:/usr/local/lib/groff/font/devlatin1/DESC:1: illegal input character code `13' repeating a few thousand (or so) times. I got the allman.tar.gz someone mentioned earlier from their ftp site at ftp.deerinet.nb.ca. I can't think of changing anything in my setup. I first installed the allman package after remounting everything in binary mode. It worked then, and I didn't use man pages for a few weeks. I tried reinstalling it, but no luck. On another note, has anyone else built ncurses? It built perfectly after remounting in bin mode, but I get a lot of "Bad escape code" errors while running programs (ncftp, and many of the demos in ncurses). I've tried several TERM settings, from pc-ansi, to ansi, vt*, etc. Does anyone have it working any better? TIA - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
