Testcase please. IMHO they are right, as it is impossible to reliably decide between, say, ISO-8859-1 and KOI8-R based only on manpage contents (without using a dictionary containing the translation of, say, "NAME" for all languages). I.e., the old version was likely to give wrong answers anyway, that's why this feature was removed. Could you please test both old and new "file" on manual pages installed by Man-1.6f? -- Alexander E.
