   Hi,   
      
   Does anyone know for a fact whether 1.6g was the final release of man,   
   the man program in Slackware 14.2? I've found the following thread in   
   the place with the ads, but it reads like a suspicion that maintenance   
   stopped not a 100% definitive statement. I can't find a final   
   announcement from the maintainer saying he had stopped. But I can't find   
   where the source might be hosted either.

   I also don't see much written about the decision to change to man-db in   
   15.0. Guess that was drama free, eh?   
      
   I'm starting a new run through Linux from Scratch and am deciding   
   whether to substitute in man-1.6g, stick with man-db, or try to make   
   mandoc work. Leaning towards man-1.6g, just as an educational exercise.   
   (I have nothing against man-db, btw.)  Perhaps I should pick up Mancha's   
   makewhatis patch from 14.2.   
      
   Regards,
