So anyone who doesn't have man-db or isn't on GNU/Linux is toast. Saying a user "is toast" means that the user is dead. Even if that is taken as a metaphor, it is a bit exaggeration. A feature limited to GNU-Like systems is not a horrible thing. Our policy is that support for non-GNU-like systems is at best a secondary goal -- something users can implement if they wish, but we don't consider the lack of that support as a problem. It's fine to make this call Groff directly, if it has no major drawbacks. But please don't imply that the absence of that support would be horrible. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
