Well, I'm using an unmodified 0.93R6, and have a nice /usr/doc/groff directory with several documents: total 106 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1182 Jul 2 1995 BUG-REPORT.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54908 Jul 2 1995 ChangeLog.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 803 Jul 2 1995 Makefile.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8714 Jul 2 1995 NEWS.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7039 Jul 2 1995 PROBLEMS.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 318 Jul 2 1995 PROJECTS.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Feb 28 21:49 README.DEBIAN -> ../copyright/groff -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 883 Jul 2 1995 README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 380 Jul 2 1995 TODO.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14160 Jul 2 1995 meintro.me.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12902 Jul 2 1995 meref.me.gz The installed groff package status is: Package: groff Status: install ok installed Priority: important Section: text Maintainer: Alvar Bray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 1.09 Revision: 4 I'm not sure, but it is possible that the particular package file you installed is corrupted. When I first installed my Debian system, I used the Yggdrasil Internet Archives distrib, which, by the way, was corrupted. In particular, the groff package was broken, and, despite it installed aparently well, it didn't work correctly (unfortunately, I never checked to see if the documentation had been installed). I fixed the problem by simply downloading a fresh package file from the archive, and installing it using the --force-install option to dpkg, so that it replaced the broken package completely. Things are now ok. Regards, M. S. ------------ Martin A. Soto J. Profesor Departamento de Ingenieria de Sistemas y Computacion Universidad de los Andes [EMAIL PROTECTED]
