Your directory names and the files that go in them must *exactly* match the distribution you are trying to load. Don't try other combinations or any variations -- that will never work. To that end, I note that I mis-stated the directory name for the man pages above. Their source files need to go in C:\FREEBSD\MANPAGES. Also be sure to put *all* of the files in each directory from the distribution. Don't cut corners. Ken
