I just installed Linux InfoMagic March 1995 release and every time i
ask for man -k or apropos xxxxx
i got the following message:
fg: no job control
apropos: manpath is null
error executing formatting or display command
system command exited with status 256.
thanks in advance.

1. How to format BSD man pages (groff man) using "classical" troff man?
I need to format BSD man pages, apparently written for the new man
macros which can only be used with GNU's groff text formatter,
using "classical" troff and man macros (e.g., troff from DWB 2.0).
Does there exist a conversion tool or a macroset usable with troff?
Please respond by E-MAIL, if necessary I'll summarize.
