WANTED: Readable manual page file names

[Ernest Hua]

Our current manual pages are clearly designed to work with the old AT&T 14-char
file name restrictions.  Unfortunately, X-Windows and Motif manual pages, among
others, have manual page file names that are a bit too difficult to decypher
at a quick glance (we use "xman").  Also, there appears not to be any cross
referencing between functions/commands that have the same manual page.

Now that we all have "real" BSD file systems, we sure would like to see all the
manual pages given back to their real names.  We also like to see the correct
cross-references so that we can find all functions at a glance (and not have to
memorize where to look for an unlisted function).

Has anyone done anything to solve these two problems?

Is there a script or a program that I can run to fix either (preferrably both)
problems?

Please reply via E-Mail if possible.
