... which is very bitter... ;-( (BTW: There is no "schedule" behind this - we're a university and when the new semester starts again the person who was willing to do it will simply no longer have time... she is - after all - still a student... ;-( ). > Susan, you already have the source for the man pages released in the > native manual page format.

It is the same content - but I am not sure (disclaimer: I am no lawyer) whether this is true. For example cinemas are usually charged twice for one and the same movie in different formats. And DocBook contains more markup than the troff man page format so it may be considered more valueable - the answer isn't easy here. ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
