Though of course, it's the same behavior that one sees if going the devps
and ps2pdf route. The pdfs are now visually identical. And, in a sense, the
behavior is now consistent with the introduction of the new font family. If
your main text font now includes all the Greek glyphs, naturally troff wi

I agree with all of Ingo's comments. A man page is a reference, not a
history, not a tutorial, not a style guide, There s nothing to say
about NULL beyond it's being a synonym for the constant 0 converted to
the null pointer. Other facts about the behavior of null pointers will
