How does one set UNIX man pages to be viewed in nroff format with DL like the standard manual pages in NS2.x?
man pages, NS2.x Beyond looking in the man pages under ixBuild, etc., what you want to do is put a few files (contents listed below file name) the .index directory : .roffArgs : -man displayCommand : tbl %s | nroff -man ixBuildOptions : -fman -Nwhatis -Ncat[1-8ln] -V Other options that people suggested for ixBuildOptions : -fman -Nwhatis -Ncat[1-8] -V /usr/local/man -fman -Nwhatis -V /usr/local/man/man* I don’t think you need to explicitly name the directory in the first alternative, but you do in the second unless you want the cat* directories indexed as well. Note : Do NOT leave a trailing return after the line in ixBuildOptions ; DL will barf. (I think someone said that, as shipped, the standard man .index/ixBuildOptions had this problem.)
