    This is a minor release covering:
     -parallel make (-j) support.
     -issues observed in the message catalog.
     -corrections in the documentation.

    man is a man pager. It has support for compressed pages
    (both man pages and cat pages), and for locale ($LANG)
    and for message catalogs ($LC_MESSAGES). It will format
    files given explicitly (man ./foo.man.gz).
    It conforms to FSSTND or FHS, and handles stray cats.
    * man2html is a utility that converts man pages to html
    * hman is a man browser that uses your favourite browser.
    For use with lynx, no http daemon is required.
