The only problem is with the Unix man pages. > Thanks for all the suggestions. Several people suggested I check permissions on the files and directories involved. I did - no problems there. One person suggested I delete the carriage return on the end of the ixBuildOptions file. I tried that - no dice. One person said he had the same problem, and he suspected a bug in Librarian. I took his advice, and ran ixBuild with the options listed in the ixBuildOptions file. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the advice. If this is a bug (and it certainly seems to be one), I hope it is fixed in 3.0! -- Alex Dommasch, Programmer |-- Field-Flow Fractionation Research Center |- Department of Chemistry, University of Utah V Salt Lake City, Utah 84112 |->|..
