From: John Hawkinson <jhawk@MIT.EDU>
I checked in Sal's updates, corrected
some confusion as to the appropriate labels
of the man[0-9] directories, and added
a note regarding maintenance of the windex
file.
I'll also retabify the file in another RCS rev.

! /mit/sipb/man also contains subdirectories called cat1, cat3, cat5,
! cat6, cat7, and cat8. These directories contains manual pages
formatted as plaintext. No manual page should ever be installed
directly in a cat{n} directory. (Plaintext documentation should
probably go in /mit/sipb/doc...?) The pages in the cat{n} directories

/mit/sipb/man may also contain files that describe what manual pages
are available, such as "whatis", "whatis.db", and "windex".
+
+ In the event that you add or remove a man page from the SIPB locker,
+ please update the man pages indices.
+
+ [[ Note: instructions on how to do this would be useful.
+ To create the windex file under Solaris, use:
+ catman -w -M /afs/.sipb/project/sipb/man
+ ]]
+
+ In particular, if you do not update the windex file, man under Solaris
+ will fail to display the man page in question. If updating the windex
+ file is prohibitive, please remove it entirely.
