by I'm trying to find the source for the man binary which is distributed with
Slackware 3.0.
Things I've tried:
(1) the man man page
(2) man -h, man --version, etc.
(3) various archie searches - almost helped, but the closest I can find
are the various *BSD sources for man, which do not produce the same
binary.
(4) checking prep.ai.mit.edu's GNU archives - no help (ProgramIndex
points to the bsd44 archive, which I didn't find at prep. A README
on netBSD points to a different archive - I'm not looking for the
*BSD man, anyway).
(5) various slackware homes
Anyone know where I might acquire said source?
The reason I'm looking for it is that I'd like to modify my system's
man to add two features:
(1) 'man 5' would produce an overview of section 5 (most man's support
this, slack's man doesn't)
(2) 'man' with no argument would produce a list of the sections and a note
to use -h to get help (I've not seen this feature, but it seems logical).
Thanks all--
