I have current pages in ~/share/man/man? and older ones in ~/man/man?. I guess the latter is in the standard search path (I don't have MANPATH set) but the former is not. I probably dumped a man-tarball in the standard place back when I didn't know about quick-install-doc. Now I'm just wondering why ~/share/man is the standard target for git and ~/man in the standard man path, at least on (K)Ubuntu 7.10 at my workplace. Michael
