Nroff error

[Forrest Aldrich]

Hi Larry,

I seem to have this file:

-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  5102 Nov  9 22:24 /usr/share/tmac/tty-char.tmac
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  1551 Nov  9 22:24 /usr/share/tmac/tty.tmac

This has been a problem for a long time - none of my manpages work at 
all.   I've tried reinstalling (makeworld/installworld,e tc) to no 
avail.  Also, if I remove /usr/local/share/groff, I get more errors.

So I think something is just plain wrong.   I've tested my MANPATH and 
looked at /etc/manpath.config, and don't see problems.

I'm getting to the point where I'm losing time by not having some manpages 
available, etc.


Thanks,
Forrest
