While reading the gcl man page, I noticed some oddities. The first one is because of this construct on lines 149-154:
.B \-compile .RB Invoke the compiler on the filename following .BR \-compile . Other flags affect compilation. The ". Other" is interpreted as a macro, due to a "." at the start of the line. Since nroff doesn't recognize the macro, it drops the entire line from the output. The second is in lines 206-209: This GNU package should not be confused with the proprietary program distributed by FRANZ, Inc. Nor should it be confused with the public domain \*(Fl or the proprietary \*(Li. What are "\*(Fl" and "\*(Li" supposed to be, lists of free and proprietary Lisps, respectively? If so, what is supposed to generate those lists? For the time being, I'm applying the following patch to the Fedora gcl build. Please let me know if there's a better solution. --- man/man1/gcl.1.orig 2002-02-03 11:44:07.000000000 -0700 +++ man/man1/gcl.1 2010-12-30 14:09:50.834355544 -0700 @@ -149,8 +149,7 @@ .B \-compile .RB Invoke the compiler on the filename following -.BR \-compile -.
