There should be very little overhead involved here. The qa "needs-manpages" list is pretty big .. I would recommend writing manpages for software you use; it is too easy to write poor documentation for other stuff. Then, just file a bug (wishlist severity?) against the package, to the effect of "Binary/library_function fails to include manpage", with Tags: patch. I expect that most maintainers would be grateful for the contribution. -- Clear skies, Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
