It looks like it would be pretty easy to turn the "using-utils" web page into some groff manpages--is there any interest in this? I'd be happy to do it (they'll be really basic) but I'd like to know beforehand if there's any chance they'd be used or at least included in the cygwin package. The only *nix I have much experience with is Linux, so this next question might be just a Linux irregularity: what is man.conf doing in /lib (or /usr/lib)? Isn't that directory for object files like kernel modules? Shouldn't it be in /etc? Third, could the man package include empty directories cat1,cat2...catn in /usr/man so that man will automatically save preformatted pages instead of groffing them every time? Who is the right person to contact about this? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
