This is in fact what I did. /usr/etc/catman on the DECstation doesn't
do -M, so I ran it from a Vax where it does. I no clue that different
macros were involved, and so didn't see any reason to hack around to
get /usr/etc/catman on the DS to do the right thing.

Of course, I've never even _heard_ of /usr/athena/etc/catman before.
I take it that's the right thing to do on a DS?

Yours or mine? I know how I broke it. :-) But I didn't see it in your
logs from last year how to do it correctly (forget
/source/control/doc/build.info).
