i've run this through a build of base, amd64 machine, with MANPS set. no problems building. the man pages look fine on the terminal, but tables do not work at all for postscript pages - don;t know if you know that or not. note i do not have xenocara source, so did not build X. i can;t see any other problems. one question (not just for ingo) - what are we doing with the me/ms pages? we have sufficiently removed enough of them that i think it's just not worth keeping the rest. especially if we don;t anticipate a means to view them in base (or do we?). perhaps we could just distribute them as ascii text files? jmc
