What were you trying to do?
Use notes utilities.
What's wrong:
The following programs, library routines, libraries, etc. are
documented in man pages but not really available:
nfabort (/usr/man/man3/nfabort.3) since the nfcom library
isn't installed
nfcomment (/usr/man/man3/nfcomment.3) (once again, since nfcom
library isn't installed)
nfaccess (/usr/man/man8/nfaccess.8)
nfdump, nfload (/usr/man/man8/nfdump.8)
nfmail (/usr/man/man8/nfmail.8)
autoseq (/usr/man/man1/notes.1)
These are available, but they're installed in /usr/new/lib/notes, and
this isn't documented in the man page, so it's impossible to know that
without looking at the source tree.
mknf, rmnf (/usr/man/man8/mknf.8, /usr/man/man8/notes.8)
newsoutput, newsinput (/usr/man/man8/newsoutput.8,
/usr/man/man8/notes.8)
nfarchive (/usr/man/man8/nfarchive.8)
nfxmit, nfrcv (/usr/man/man8/nfxmit.8)
What should have happened:
The ones that aren't installed should be installed, or their
man pages should be removed and/or edited to indicate that
they don't exist. For the ones that are installed in
/usr/new/lib/notes, their man pages should document that.
