If it's only the cat files, simply throw them away, and man(1) will recreate them as required. If it's the man files, you gotta reinstall them. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
