Thread-topic: Section 4 man pages in the wrong section?
Hi all,

It's been pointed out to me that the config file man pages that
we install in section 4 should really be in section 5.  man man
says:

       The standard sections of the manual include:
       ...
       4      Devices and Special Files
       5      File Formats and Conventions

This is probably a Linux/IRIX difference ... I suggest at this
stage we switch over.  Unless anyone objects, I'll add this to
the pcp-3.8.0 list.

cheers.
