Thanks - you were right. Many of the files in the *cat1* directory
were bad - length 20 bytes each. I deleted them all and now I can use
*man* but do you know what could have caused the problem ? I don't
like fixing a problem without knowing what really happend.
Also, I discovered that I can only use *man* when I'm logged in as
*root*. In another login, I get the following message:
gzip: stdout: No space left on device
Error excecuting formatting or display command
System command exited with status 256.
The problem is NOT space, because the *man* program works fine from
*root*. I also checked the permission of the *cat1* directory and
it's "drwxrwxrwx" so I don't know what the problem is.
Any ideas ??
BTW - where would I look for documentation about the error status I
mentioned above ?
TIA
