Hi all,

the Debian distribution tries to provide a manpage for every command in
the patch, at least containing a pointer to the proper
documentation. For some scripts in ConTeXt, these were missing. I have
tried to write them. However, I don't use ConTeXt at all, therefore I
would like to hear comments from real users.

The suggested manpages are attached at the end. You can view them with
"man -l filename". The fdf2tex manpage is meant to be used, via a
symlink or alias, also for fdf2tan. However I don't really understand
this...

It seems he forgot this - I will quote relevant parts of the mail.

But then the "replace" option doesn't make much sense, does it?
