README
In his wisdom RMS decided that people need no man pages when they can use GNU's beautiful info system. Unfortunately, everybody I know greatly prefers man pages. Since GNU actively non-maintains man pages, and inserts text to the effect that you should not be reading them in each man page that they already have, it seems that outside maintenance of man pages for the GNU utilities is required. The fileutils-3.16 man pages found here have been derived from those in fileutils-3.16-man-0.4.tar.gz (as produced by Ragnar Hojland Espinosa and A. Wik, and found on ftp://mail1.bet1.puv.fi/incoming/) by adding information on what POSIX says about these utilities. This is very useful if you have to write scripts that should be portable. There is also a time.1 man page here, inspired by kromJx@crosswinds.net. Andries
