They may be compiled into +five different formats: + + dvi: device independent + ps: PostScript + cat: vt100-type terminal ie. ASCII with overstrike + tps: PostScript with TeX fonts + html: HyperText Markup Language + +All require soelim, tbl and the ROFF macro `e' (your site probably has it). +cat requires nroff whereas the others require groff. tps also requires an +installation of TeX and dvips. html requires a version of groff with the +grohtml driver, and is currently disabled by default as the output is +suboptimal. + +Issuing `make' or `make all' will produce the dvi, ps and cat versions. To +produce a single format simply run + + make <format> +or + make man_db.<format> + +where <format> can be any of the above. |
