Mmm - don't suppose you can give me some hints on this.  I grabbed the

BUILD script provided).  Perhaps I should read the documentation a bit
more, but I wasn't really expecting this much trouble!

The permissions on the manpage directory is wrong for cat1 in
/usr/share/man - it should be the same as all the other cat* directories, 
but for some reason I found that it had been set to stop mere mortals from
reading them!
