man pages

``man pages'' (manual pages) are delivered in two varieties, formatted and unformatted. Unformatted ``man pages'' are placed in man/man?/$<$man_page$>$, while the formatted versions are placed in man/cat?/$<$man_page$>$. Ready-to-Run Software supplies a man page utility as part of the ``doc'' package. You may install this utility as either man or rtrman in $<$share_install_dir$>$/sbin or $<$share_install_dir$>$/bin.

If you decide to use the standard man system that comes with your system (and this will work fine on most systems, but not SCO), you can set your MANPATH environment variable so that it will find both the system and RTR supplied man pages. If you used our installation defaults, you will want to set your MANPATH to one similar to this:

        MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/local/share/man
