        Here is a Makefile for making formatted man pages. It is
just a quick hack. I hope some find use of it. (I hate to wait
for groff to format it for me each time.)

# Written by: Dan Miner (dminer@cs.umr.edu)
# Makefile for generating formatted man pages.
#
# Usage:
# make
# makes any man page not formatted in the entire tree
# (sames 'all')
#
# BUGS:
# This can't tell if you replace a man page with a "new" man
# page that is still old that the formatted version.
