I just installed Slackware '96' and everything seems to work great,
except the man pages. The kernel doesn't complain about missing files,
I just get "line ?/? (END)" in reverse video for output.
It almost looks like 'gtroff' and company are missing, but I verified
that they were installed.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thansk in advance,
Roy Kidder

This is a very well-known bug in certain Slackware distributions.
Either get the original man-1.4d distribution (say, from sunsite),
or have a look at the simple_fixes directory that zenon is
maintaining - you may well have a handful of other problems,
also caused by flaws in this same distribution.
