by (if by any chance this has come up recently, sorry... my
system got wiped out, which is why I was trying to figure out
how to use stuff I hadn't before... haven't been reading news
lately)
On my system (Linux), when I do "man tar" this is what I get on
my screen:
This file documents the tape archive of the GNU system.
.
.
.
The file is in something called "usr/man/cat1/tar"
I'm aware that some people dispute whether texinfo or troff formats
should be used for some things, I guess that's what I'm seeing here.
Couple questions: How is this *intended* to be used? Is it possible
to set up "man" so that it uses both formats?
Is there a way to convert my "usr/man/cat1/tar" to troff format?
Is there a way to convert it to the .info format emacs can read?
Thanks
