Cobb" CC: Cygwin List Subject: Re: man configuration References: <3A117724.9D7BE33F@home.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit What does your mount table look like? The "C:/usr/man" has to translate to "/usr/man" for man to find man pages. Also, man uses the file "/usr/lib/man.conf" to define defaults. man has to be able to find it, too, so if the mount table does not show a "/usr..." that could be the problem. I just checked the man command man page and learned something new: "man ./file.xyz" will display the man page for "file", so you could cd to "C:/usr/man/man?" (probably ? should be 1 [one] for most cases) and use "man ./man.1" and so on to get details on commands and environment you need to get things setup correctly. Hope this helps. "David A.
