This is Unix centric thinking. Some operating systems; e.g. Windows, VMS, and, perhaps, others do not have "man pages" or anything to read them with! HTML browsers are widely available. For those who don't, can't, or won't have one, the HTML is formatted in such a way that it is possible to read it as English text and ignore the HTML tags. And, frankly, many man pages are almost unreadable anyway. They list seven hundred switches and options without ever telling you how you might accomplish the task at hand! _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
