Actually, it doesn't make sense to me. I was being polite. :-) I thought the postgresql-7.2.tar.gz had everything, including HTML. At least I think it should. In fact, in looking at the postgresql-7.2.tar.gz tarball, I see: FAQ FAQ_Solaris TODO FAQ_AIX FAQ_german TODO.detail/ FAQ_DEV FAQ_japanese bug.template FAQ_HPUX KNOWN_BUGS man.tar.gz <---- FAQ_IRIX MISSING_FEATURES postgres.tar.gz <---- FAQ_MSWIN Makefile src/ FAQ_QNX4 README.mb.big5 FAQ_SCO README.mb.jp So, it has the man pages and HTML files? OK, I see now, the man pages are in the base tarball postgresql-base-7.2.tar.gz, so they don't need to be in the doc tarball. Now, I really do get it. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026
