BUGS

	The manual was intended to be typeset; some detail is sacrificed on text terminals. There is no automatic mechanism to keep the indices up to date. Except for special cases, man doesn’t recognize things that should be run through tbl and/or eqn. The HTML manual is not maintained automatically. To update it: cd /home/opt/plan9port/dist mk man
