Re: [9fans] formatting the manual from plan9 ports?

Hi.

Thanks. I did see that. I was wondering more about all the hardcoded
path names in the various scripts in /sys/man and /sys/lib/man and
also getting p9p mk to use rc instead of sh to run commands.

I suppose that I will just manually "nerd through it" (as a friend
used to say).

Thanks,

Arnold
