Can someone give me a pointer to either the man >pages for PL41 or diffs from the PL18 man pages that came with the DOS >PL18? There are a lot of differences. I didn't put manual pages into my executable distribution on the assumption that most users would have or could get the current Unix distribution which has complete manuals. If you have ftp access you can get this from Larry Wall's site. If my assumption was incorrect perhaps there needs to be a means by which the manuals can be made available separately. I'm not even sure what format they should be in. If someone is getting MS-DOS perl outside of a Unix environment the manuals might have to be pre-formatted instead of in roff source. -- Len Reed Holos Software, Inc.
