Not one answer (though there were several people who wanted the information to be passed their way if I got any pointers). Is there really no one out there who has successfully gotten the whatis database to include new man pages? Further, I have come to a realization that I can not find any documentation on adding man pages with regards to compaction, etc. (No, we have not gotten our stand-alone documents yet, so I can not read the manual) Surely, someone must have some ideas out there? -- mas Major said, "Why don't we give him Rope enough to hang himself?
