The following addition to the -man macros makes for shorter
and more readable on-line manual entries.  It removes the
page breaks, which serve no useful function for an online
version, and make the page wider, using more of the screen.
This is a very quick job, but it seems to work well.  Please
send me any fixes.

You can put this in your local version of man, so that nroff
to make a `cat'able version of the manual includes the file
in the command.

# 2. Save the resulting text in a file.
# 3. Execute the file with /bin/sh (not csh) to create the files:
