Thanks for the report, all these man pages work for me, I\'m not sure what happening yet but I will look into this. |

What does \"pkgchk CSWgroff\" say? |

The output of pkgchk is below. It only shows differences with the cattable versions of the manual pages shipped with the package, which is expected because I ran a program to recreate the cat* pages for all man pages on this system.

That\'s the problem. Suggest pkgrm CSWgroff and reinstall. |

OK, I see what you are saying. Rather than fixing the man pages, you are pre-formatting them and then shipping these good cattable versions which I overwrote. I can accept that, but I think it is a shame that the GNU programmers choose to keep breaking existing programs and systems. |

I uninstalled/reinstalled CSWgroff. The groffer(1) and groff_out(5) pages look fine, but this is what I get in /opt/csw/man/cat1/pdfroff.1:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
User Commands PDFROFF(1)
NAME
pdfroff - create PDF documents using groff \\$*
SYNOPSIS
Groff Version 1.19.2 Last change: 18 May 2005 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just for your info. Not trying to be a PITA! :-) |

I write my own macros for formatting documents but I gave up rewriting these man pages as a bad job and a gross waste of time. An alternative to putting formatted pages in cat is to put cw font in a nroff file and .nf. I don\'t like this because the formatting of the original is lost. If you set TROFF=groff and TCAT to some appropriate (that reads PS/PDF and displays/saves) you can see the original form using \"man -t ...\". A shame man can\'t use NROFF=gnroff.
It\'s hardly surprising the groff people use the most complex macro coding. I can\'t be bothered to complain; the World has many more annoying issues that need attention first. Anyone is free to file a bug themselves: <bug-groff@gnu.org>.
pdfroff is covered in:

Closing, new package released with preformatted man pages in man/cat which is best I can do simply. |
