I apologize profusely if this question has been answered before--I went back 
through dozens of weeks of comp.sys.next trying to find the discussion, to
no avail:

Is there a trick to getting Librarian 2.0 to index directories containing
nroff -man format files?  It seems to just quit trying immediately.  I do
not want to have all my man pages converted by catman for obvious space 
reasons.  Is this one of the "will be fixed in 2.1" facts-of-life?  Lib 1.0
seemed to be able to read many different formats of files, and then convert
them beautifully for display.

P.S.  I do know about the index-update bug already.

Thanks in advance.
