While this looks like a good start at man page to html converting, it shouldn't be used in your http server unless you want to open up more files than you intend. (It allows absolute paths and doesn't check to make sure a file is in the man path when you ask it for a pathname. I don't have any man pages in /etc, but I was able to get files out of /etc with this script.) I would have posted a patch, but I don't know enough perl to get it right... -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alan Coopersmith Internet: alanc@ocf.berkeley.edu U.C.
