Hi,
   In the course of the extended discussion on Man pages on the haiku list,
I noticed that rman -- the manpage-to-other-stuff translator -- is in the
haiku source tree.  However, that version crashes when you try to use it,
on haiku, beos, and ubuntu!  An earlier version runs fine on all those
platforms -- been using it for years.

I was wondering if there's actually any interest in the program.
[Judging from the reverberating response (:-/) to my last post on the haiku
list, perhaps not...]  If there is, I'll try to track down the problem.
Otherwise, the earlier 3.0.4 seems to do a reasonable job.  It's copyright
UCB, though (unlike the later one which is Artistic Licence) so I suppose
"Commercial Haiku" could have problems.

Cheers,
        -- Pete --
