There seems to be a problem with tbl on the 2.1 next extended release. man tbl generates an error because there happen to be a line beginning with .TS in tbl.1 without intention to make a table (like in this sentence). That can be fixed, but then comes the *real problem*: when you do man tbl you get the error message: line 50 no specification. You can get this error directly by trying, say, man mf which returns line 124 no specification. Has anybody got this to work on a next? Do roff experts have a clue on what could be wrong? (The man page or the doc "Tbl a program to format tables" by M E Lesk don't give a clue...) yours, J-F Rit
