(all as su) run catman (to get formatted files) 2 rename, compress, or remove thoe old index.ixif file (dated Nov 10, and provided courtesy of NeXT). 3. chmod -R a+w he directory ... Unix/ManPages 4. index the directory by running ixBuild -CV -NManPages If you're lucke you will get good index, thaough some files may appear twice. In my case the files from mann (containing the X11 man-pages) appear with the underlines between the letters. There must be better ways (on my HP-machine I ran catman, then removed which produced compressed formatted files, and then was able to remove the nroff sources, to save disk space; but then that is HP-UX ...).
