 Bug Id: 4095115
 Product: sunos
 Category: manpage
 Subcategory: section9f
 Bug/Rfe/Eou: bug
 State: integrated
 Development Status: INT
 Synopsis: allocb.9f is not displayed by man command because there is not pic.
 Keywords: allocb, allocb.9f, man, manpage, not_display, pic
 Severity: 3
 Severity Impact: 1
 Severity Functionality: 1
 Priority: 3
 Description:
allocb.9f is not displayed by man command because there is not pic 
as follows;

# man allocb
Reformatting page.  Wait...sh: pic: not found
 done

 Justification:
allocb.9f is not displayed by man command now.
It should be modified in next release.
 Work around:

 Suggested fix:

 State triggers:
        Accepted: yes
        Evaluated: yes
        Evaluation:

The problem was that a pic preprocessor command was placed in
the beginning of the nroff file.  The build process already
knows to use pic on this file.  Trying to run pic twice was
causing the problems. (pic may not exist on the customer's machine)

        Commit to fix in releases: s998_06
        Fixed in releases: s998_06

NOTE:  s998_06 is a build of release 2.7.
