I am still working on reading text files. Acting on Alexey Vyskubov's advice I downloaded the man-db package. Now, instead of: 'zmore Xserver.1x.gz', when I use 'man Xserver' I no longer have control characters interspersed in the text.
When I was installing man-db, however, I got the following error message: Checking for languages ...de_DECan't locate Getopt/Long.pm in @INC at /usr/sbin/chman config line 38 Man still seems to run, so possibly this isn't important and should be ignored. The other problem is with .tex files which I assume I use the Latex command. My error message when I run: 'latex guide.tex' is: 'Can't find file linuxdoc.sty' On Jens Ritter suggestion, I downloaded the 'sgml-tools' package which has the file 'linuxdoc-sgml.sty'. This not working, I renamed the 'linuxdoc-sgml.sty' file to 'linuxdoc.sty', which also didn't work. Jens Ritter mentioned that the file 'linuxdoc.sty' is in 'gweb', but I couldn't find the 'qweb' package anywhere. Sorry for taking up everyone's time with such basic questions. Wish things were easier. By the way, several times I've seen 'IIRC' printed on e-mails. Forgive my ignorance, but what does that stand for? Thanks for anyone's help. Dennis Dixon P.O.
