Hi,

If anyone is interested a good way of saving disk space is to enable the
man shell script to read files other than compacted cattable files, I've
extended mine to use :

1) compressed files  (more savings than compacted)
2) nroff source code
3) compressed nroff source code (massive savings)
4) compacted nroff source code (large savings)

Just look at the end of the shell script it should be obvious how to add
these options, if not email me and I'll send you a copy.
