[mew-int 00606] Man problems

[Terry Gliedt]

rman -f HTML < xwintoppm._man \

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tpg/j/magicpoint-1.09a/contrib/xwintoppm'
rm -f mgpnet._man
ln -s mgpnet.man mgpnet._man
rm -f mgpnet.1x.html mgpnet.1x-html
rman -f HTML < mgpnet._man \
> mgpnet.1x-html && mv -f mgpnet.1x-html mgpnet.1x.html

The error above may be the reason that this fails on Linux too:
