What were you trying to do?
Print a man page with "man -t <topic>".
What's wrong:
When I do this, it says "Reformatting page. Wait... done". Then
I get the UNIX prompt back. Nothing gets printed. When I do the
same on a DECstation, I get a printed man page (but improperly
formatted, due to another bug I reported earlier). Also, back
on the Sun, if I do "psroff -man <topic>.1", the man page prints.
What should have happened:
man -t should print a man page.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
man man (though it is a bit ambigous about "man -t").
