When trying to display OpenPKG man pages most of them work great. Here
is my output for 'openpkg man gcc":

For rpm it's a scrambled mess:

My SWAG on this is the setting of your PAGER environment variable. I think
the default for OpenPKG is ``less -E -r'' where the -E automatically quits
at the end of the viewing (which I *HATE* and turn off), and the -r seems
to be the trick to get less to view man pages correctly.

To say that UNIX is doomed is pretty rabid, OS/2 will certainly play a role,
but you don't build a hundred million instructions per second multiprocessor
micro and then try to run it on OS/2. I mean, get serious.
