"until you have to wait for N minutes on your vax, to get the manual
page you need Right Now."  8-)

It's generally better to have one person building a
snapshot/distribution build manual pages than N users, esp. if those

compression program that takes off even 5% of our distributions, that
can be useful and desirable.)
