>Description:
Tom Christiansen, who's involved with parts of the perl distribution, released a script which went through system directories reporting commands without man-pages.

here's what it reported on my 1.4K-i386 system:
NB I don't have X installed so it only looked at
   /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin

>Fix:
if there's any executables there which don't have man-pages for
a reason (texinfo stuff?), maybe a man-page of a few lines should be
created to let people know the story


there is a man entry for [ but "man [" don't work
flex++.1 should be hard-linked to flex.1
should install-sid be linked to send-pr ?
should lessecho be linked to less ?
  probably not since it only gets mentioned at end
should neqn be linked to eqn ?

I gather info & install-info & makeinfo & texi2dvi & texindex are part of texinfo

psroff is just a script to invoke groff -Tps

couldn't find any reference for gencat
couldn't find any reference for uulog uuname uupick uusched
uuto is referred to in uucp.1
couldn't find anything related to gsp
couldn't find any real candidate for rip6query (search on rip6), was mld6query


I think the only false positives in the above list come from mkservdb & irpd installed from bind-8.2.x
