I did man pages for UNIX:  I wrote them in MS Word on the PC platform --
saved them to .txt.  I then filtered them to from DOS to UNIX.

I checked the files via XEDIT -- VI is fine too -- to make sure the
translation was ok.  Your UNIX guru *should* know that ASCII/text files
need to run through a filter for proper used [on both sides of the
platform].

My main thought in the exercise was to keep the files in a format where I
could edit/spell check easy.

You should check with the UNIX guru for name specifications of your files.
The program will "look" for the file in a specific location.

[I used "Exodus" as my UNIX gateway.]

However, you can ftp the files in and do the same.

It was easier than using VI and hoping the spelling gawds were nice.


Hope this helps, Go Broncos
