That is unfortunately true: The file is empty. But when looking into the tar archive of GNU gas, I didn't find a man page either. So there is none. There is however a texinfo file for inclusion into GNU EMACS help. The empty file, however must be there, to make the 'make' lucky. >Did anybody else discover this problem or is it just this server ? >I would like to get a complete distribution, so, if somebody can mail >this file to me, I will be happy. The info file is called gas-doc.tar.Z and should be available from anywhere you can get GNU sources. >Thank you in advance, >Norbert. >-- >Norbert Bladt, Ascom Autelca AG, Worbstr. 201, CH-3073 Guemligen, Switzerland >Phone: +41 31 999 65 52 FAX: +41 31 999 65 44 >Mail: nbladt@autelca.ascom.ch UUCP: ..!uunet!mcsun!chsun!hslrswi!aut!nbladt -- | | / Holger Veit | INTERNET: veit@du9ds3.uni-duisburg.de |__| / University of Duisburg | BITNET: veit%du9ds3.uni-duisburg.de@UNIDO | | / Dept. of Electr.
