>I hope a shell script or perl script?
Well, no. Shell scripts are too hard and I don't know perl. So it's in
tortured C. It also needs the shhopt package (from sunsite), which
effortlessly parses a command line, but not many people know about it.
So maybe this isn't up to distributions standards.
Here it is anyway. You invoke it just like this:
preformat ls.1
Or for a whole directory,
preformat *
Or if you keep preformatted man pages elsewhere than /usr/man/preformat/catN,
preformat --mandir=/usr/local/doc/package_xyz/man *
It makes the target directories where necessary and groffs and gzips the
man pages into them. If it finds a man page that looks like ".so whatever",
it just does a symbolic link to the base file instead.
