Subject: [TUHS] v6: where is "man"?
Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2010 15:16:37 -1000 (HST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.BSI.4.64.1010191507110.25174@malasada.lava.net> (raw)
I'm playing with unix v6 right now. I don't see the "man"
binary anywhere.. anyone know why?
I have v6 installed from tape. The tape has images for three
disks apparently, root, source and docs. The docs image has
a man directory with the man pages in them. I don't see a
man binary anywhere though, and I don't see the sources to
man in the sources directory either.
I checked the disk images available on the simh "kits" page.
It has man pages in /mnt/man but no sources or binary.
(by the way, this image is missing /usr/sys for some reason,
which is why I am running an installation from tape).
I also checked the
PDP-11/Trees/V6 directory on TUHS and similarly dont see
sources or binaries for man (though the man pages are present
in /usr/man).
There's even a /usr/man/man1/man.1, formatted online here:
http://wwwlehre.dhbw-stuttgart.de/~helbig/os/v6/doc/I/man.html
anyone know why the source and binary are missing from the
distributions?
