Has anyone ported whatis and makewhatis to OMVS? Or is there a better way than using whatis?
My issue is that the man -k xxx searches the /usr/man/%L/whatis database and there is no available means to update that file since whatis and makewhatis are not available. Thus when adding utilities (e.g. Rocket ported, Co:Z, ...) that have man pages, the MANPATH can be updated so that these tools man pages can be found if requested specifically but they cannot be found using the 'man -k xxx' command. Thoughts? Am I off base? Am I missing something? Lionel B. Dyck <sdg>< Website: https://www.lbdsoftware.com "Worry more about your character than your reputation.
