We have online manual pages using man(1) on systems running UniSoft Uniplus+ and on the NCR Tower. Both of these System V ports do NOT pack or preformat the manual entries; man(1) calls nroff to do the job. There is no "catch" other than occupying a few MB of disk space. ==> Larry Lippman @ Recognition Research Corp., Clarence, New York ==> UUCP: {allegra|decvax|rocksanne|rocksvax|watmath}!sunybcs!kitty!larry ==> VOICE: 716/688-1231 {hplabs|ihnp4|seismo|utzoo}!/ ==> FAX: 716/741-9635 {G1,G2,G3} "Have you hugged your cat today?"
