Swearingen >Release: FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE i386 >Organization: none >Environment: n/a ================ >Description: The compress(1) manual documents the command "zcat" which is better documented by the zcat(1) manual and which doesn't belong in this manual. The given description is wrong in any case because "zcat" doesn't insist that the filename end with ".Z" as "uncompress -c" does. ================ >How-To-Repeat: n/a ================ >Fix: Remove all mention of "zcat" (four places) and add zcat(1) to the "See Also" section. Maybe also mention it in the description of "-c". >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
