Thanks. From what I see, the problem is internal to
man. But here is some more info:
$ man zip
=> works
$ cp /usr/share/man/man1/zip.1 ~/local/man/man1
$ cd ~/local/man/man1
$ man ./zip.1
=> Error
$ cd /usr/share/man/man1
$ man ./zip.1
=> Works
>From the above, the error is not in the man page
itself, but in the path (i.e., it works in some
directories and not in others).
Thanks for the help.
