Hi Jungle Boogie, Ingo, misc@,

I have to add one comment here:  "less" is superior interface, typically.
Interesting, I can't find an obvious way to install these locally though.

Probably, FreeBSD-12.0 was positioned out of group in the drop down list.
The drop down list is (intentionally) not sorted https://man.openbsd.org/

Could you please point to the cvsweb page for this list or the changelog?

There is one port (and package) of the POSIX manual pages, probably this:

https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/ports/books/man-pages-posix/
https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/~checkout~/ports/books/man-pages-posix/Makefile
https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/~checkout~/ports/books/man-pages-posix/pkg/DESCR
https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/~checkout~/ports/books/man-pages-posix/pkg/PLIST
https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/~checkout~/ports/books/man-pages-posix/pkg/README

Maybe there are none ports for the others in the list, and they are added
manually, please kindly share details of the process used to offer these.

Thank you ALL for the manual pages & the time, and care dedicated to this
and other questions related (sometimes not quite), very much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Anton Lazarov
