But far enough to annoy me. :) So either the man page should be changed or quilt.pdf should not be gziped. I would prefer if it was not compressed. Reading gzipped plain text files is not much of a problem with the tools available, but to read gzipped pdfs can be a bit uncomfortable. The debian policy enforces that all files under /usr/share/doc bigger than 4kb have to be compressed. So you second approach is not an option. (And it's not such a big deal since you can see them with zxpdf ;) I didn't know about zxpdf. Thank for informing me about it. I added this text to the manpage: Note that some distributors compress this file. zxpdf(1) can be used to display compressed pdf files. That's ok with me. Thanks for reporting, Mt. Thanks for dealing with this. David -- David Riebenbauer Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - ICQ: 322056002 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
