The "man" program makes ISO-Latin-1 cat files. The default console font is ASCII, and the result is that the continuation hyphen comes out as an inverted exclamation mark under 1.1 . I can have 1.1 set the console font differently, or we can have "man" output ASCII. What should we do? Thanks Bruce -- Pixar Animation Studios: Reality is not our business.
