This reminds me actually; I noticed a while ago that mdoc(7) is actually a copy (as you suggest) of groff_mdoc(7) whereas the mdoc.samples(7) Valery suggests is a link to groff_mdoc(7) but as far as I know we don't use groff for our mandoc anymore.. we also have mandoc_mdoc(7) which I think would be the correct manpage for the mandoc(1) implementation we use. Is it time to switch these around? iain
