Just came across a "do you want a Tcl manpage or a system one" at work and, in recalling this thread, noticed that the Tcl manpage was the one in "n", whilst the system one, in this case, was in 8. I thought to check what that system made of a "man Thread" and was offered * Thread (3pm) thread (n) Man: What manual page do you want? Might there be a case for installing all Tcl manpages into the mann directory? -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
