Dear Ross,
Could you give me more hints about how to fix that kind of problem. I
#find / -name kill and saw it in /car/man/cat1 b4, and knew mode 700 in
/var/man/cat* but still wondering why in the same cat1 dir. [some
commands] appear output normally when #man , some are not?
Do i need to edit /usr/lib/man.conf?
where can I put LESSCHARSET=latin1 in root environment?
thanks and kind regards
