A large number (575) of 'man' pages, that reference other man pages using a
'.so' (source include) reference, fail to work because the plain text files
have the '.gz' extension appended without actually being gzipped. Could
this be due to a mishap in or with the 'cygport' package?
Each reference appears to be okay (I've only tested a handful), iff you
remove the '.gz' extension.
Following is a list of such man page error messages with a few of them
actually verified to have the situation I describe above.
Please stop repeating the same message.

I repeated the message the first time because the original subject did
not specifically mention 'cygport'.
If 'cygport' is at fault this is a serious problem that compromises many
packages.
I repeated the message, again, because I got a message from what I
thought was the list's server
saying the message had been bounced because it had an attachment with an
unacceptable name.
And, I got no responses.
Now, I see that the message got through.
Cheers,
Lee
