The issue was the speed of the text formatters. I vividly recall on the 11/750 waiting multiple seconds for nroff to chew through man pages before I could read them. Of course groff's even slower, but mandoc is faster -- than groff, at least, dunno about heritage nroff. Is there a noticeable delay with mandoc even on our slowest supported hardware? It might very well be fine. Thor
