Yes, you don't get it free from autoconf, but automake should do it(?) You can even prefix the man page rules with "notrans_" to prevent transformation, but I don't know what this is all about. I'd expect that transformation is done at install time, not at build time? Anyway, someone who knows what is necessary needs to test it. -- Now, about the contents of the new man pages: Splitting has not bought us that much yet. 75% of the contents are now in the commands man page. It's difficult to remove more things from that because the command list also contains general topics like menus, session management and coloursets. Moving these parts to different pages would also remove them from the command list. The original man page just has a bad structure. It's not obvious how to move the Style command (a subsection of the commands page) to a different file without cluttering the source with ifdefs. Ciao Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Dominik Vogt
