Hi,
When ksh93 is built, shcomp is also built. This binary can compile a ksh93
script. There is some reference to this program in the installed doc
but not in ksh man page.
I suggest that shcomp be installed and that there is some reference to it
in the man page.
I have written a little English man page for shcomp so that lintian is happy,
and one in French so that French people are happy ;-)
I would be nice if the "SEE ALSO" section in ksh man page listed shcomp...
I don't know how to do that properly
Please, find below :
a diff for debian/rules so that shcomp and man pages are installed,
the English man page for shcomp
the French man page for shcomp (using charset ISO-8859-1)
Regards,
Christophe.

..TH SHCOMP 1 "Fri Jun 3 2005" KSH93 "User Environment Utilities"
..SH NAME
shcomp \- compile a ksh93 shell script
..SH SYNOPSIS
..B shcomp
[
..I options
] [\fIinfile\fP] [\fIoutfile\fP]]
..SH ORIGINE OF THIS MAN PAGE
This man page was written by Christophe Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
for the
..B Debian
..B GNU/Linux
system. It is based on "shcomp \-\-man" output.
..SH DESCRIPTION
Unless
..I \-D
is specified,
..B shcomp
takes a shell script,
..IR infile ,
and creates a
binary format file,
..IR outfile ,
that
..B ksh93
can read and execute with the same
effect as the original script.
..PP
Since aliases are processed as the script is read, alias definitions whose
value requires variable expansion will not work correctly.
..PP
If
..I \-D
is specifed, all double quoted strings that are preceded by $ are
output. These are the messages that need to be translated to locale specific
versions for internationalization.
..PP
If
..I outfile
is omitted, then the results will be written to standard output.
If
..I infile
is also omitted, the shell script will be read from standard input.
..SH OPTIONS
..TP
\fI\-D\fP, \fI\-\-dictionary\fP
Generate a list of strings that need to be placed in a
message catalog for internationalization.
..TP
\fI\-n\fP, \fI\-\-noexec\fP
Displays warning messages for obsolete or non-conforming
constructs.
..TP
\fI\-v\fP, \fI\-\-verbose\fP
Displays input from
..I infile
onto standard error as it reads it.
..TP
\fI\-\-man\fP
Displays this man page on standard error and exits.
..TP
\fI\-\-help\fP
Shows a short help message and exits.
..SH EXIT STATUS
..TP
0
Successful completion.
..TP
>0
An error occurred.
..SH DEBIAN WARNING
On a
..B Debian
..B GNU/Linux
system, more than one package may provide ksh. the output of
..B shcomp
can only be used by
..BR ksh93 .
Other ksh will fail running the compiled script.
..SH EXAMPLE
..nf
( echo '#! /bin/ksh93' ; shcomp myscript ) > myscript.bin &&
chmod 755 myscript.bin
\&./myscript.bin
..fi

..TH SHCOMP 1 "Vendredi 3 juin 2005" KSH93 "Manuel de l'utilisateur UNIX"
..SH NAME
shcomp \- compile un script shell ksh93
..SH SYNOPSIS
..B shcomp
[
..I options
] [\fIfichier-d-entr�e\fP] [\fIfichier-de-sortie\fP]]
..SH ORIGINE DE CETTE PAGE DE MANUEL
�crite par Christophe Martin
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
pour le projet
..B Debian
..BR GNU/Linux ,
elle est bas�e sur l'affichage de � shcomp \-\-man �.
..SH DESCRIPTION
� moins que
..I \-D
ne soit sp�cifi� sur la ligne de commande,
..B shcomp
lit un script,
..IR fichier-d-entr�e ,
et cr�e un fichier binaire,
..IR fichier-de-sortie ,
que
..B ksh93
peut lire et ex�cuter de la m�me mani�re et avec les m�mes effets
que le script d'origine.
..PP
Puisque ils sont evalu�s lors de la lecture du script, les alias dont la
valeur n�cessite l'expansion de variables ne fonctionneront pas correctement.
..PP
Si on utilise l'option
..BR \-D ,
toutes les chaines entre guillemets (\fB"\fP) pr�c�d�es d'un $ sont affich�es.
Ces chaines sont les messages qui doivent �tre
traduits pour l'internationnalisation du script.
..PP
Si on omet
..IR fichier-de-sortie ,
alors le r�sultat est �crit sur la sortie standard.
Si on omet �galement
..IR fichier-d-entr�e ,
alors le script est lu depuis l'entr�e standard.
..SH OPTIONS
..TP
\fI\-D\fP, \fI\-\-dictionary\fP
G�n�re une liste de chaines qui doivent �tre plac�es dans un catalogue
de messages pour l'internationnalisation du script.
..TP
\fI\-n\fP, \fI\-\-noexec\fP
Affiche des alertes lorsque le script contient des constructions obsol�tes
ou non conformes.
..TP
\fI\-v\fP, \fI\-\-verbose\fP
Affiche Les lignes de
..I fichier-d-entr�e
au fur et � mesure qu'elles sont lues.
..TP
\fI\-\-man\fP
Affiche cette page de manuel (en anglais) sur l'erreur standard et quitte.
..TP
\fI\-\-help\fP
Affiche une courte aide (en anglais) et quitte.
..SH CODE DE RETOUR
..TP
0
Le programme a r�ussi.
..TP
>0
Une erreur s'est produite.
..SH ALERTE DEBIAN
Sur un syst�me
..B Debian
..B GNU/Linux
plus d'un paquet fournit ksh. Seul
..B ksh93
peut ex�cuter les scripts compil�s avec
..BR shcomp .
Les autres ksh �choueront.
..SH EXEMPLE
