This is to announce that version 1.2 of the `man' clone was uploaded
to the DJGPP archives:

  ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/man12b.zip
  ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/man12s.zip

This release corrects a bug related to memory allocation that would
sometimes crash the program.

For those who don't know: `man' is a program for displaying Unix
documentation in the form of manual pages (those foo.1 and bar.3 files
which come with some ports of GNU and other Unix-born programs).  In
addition to the interactive use, where `man' calls Less to browse the
docs, it is also called by Emacs and the stand-alone Info reader when
they need to display the man pages.
