You can generate an info format file or a LaTeX format file from the same source (it's basically a bunch of macors suited to writing documentation, with processors to do slightly different things with them; kind of like different overall style files in LaTeX). I don't know if they've done man page stuff yet, since groff is relatively new and they had been avoiding troff-like things because they're proprietary .... Eliot Moss -- J. Eliot B.
