There is a minor, but annoying, bug in the installation script
for SP-50 version 4.0 (Data Acquisition Software) which prevents
installation of the new manual pages for this product.

I wouldn't have noticed the bug except that my first crack
at the installation failed for unrelated reasons.  This allowed me
to look at the subdirectories of /update before they were trashed.
I noticed that the man/man1 and man/man8 directories
had not been emptied.  Context diffs follow.

Thank you for pointing out this oversight.  I will notify field service of
the error.  At least the hard copy version of the man pages is correct.

Future versions of SP-50 will have a corrected install script.  I do not
expect to issue a fixed install script for v4.0 unless more serious bugs
exist in it.
