Description rdm 2002-06-28 20:40:01 UTC
	The dig(1) man page seems to have some missing text.  In the
        second paragraph of the "server" description, I see:

        (LOCALRESis specific ... resolver and is not referenced by the)
                 ?                                                    ?

Fix: 

I have isolated the problem to these lines of troff, but I
        can't suggest the fix(es):

	.Ns Ev (LOCALRES
        is specific to the
        .Ic dig
        resolver and is not referenced by the standard resolver).
How-To-Repeat: 
	man dig

The text seems OK here:

	which use it.  As an option, the user may set the environment
	variable LOCALRES to name a file which is to be used instead
	of /etc/resolv.conf (LOCALRES is specific to the dig resolver
	and is not referenced by the standard resolver).  If the
	LOCALRES variable is not set or the specified file is not
	readable, then /etc/resolv.conf will be used.

How are you reading the manpage?  Perhaps the .Ns Ev trick works for
displaying manpages in my console terminal, but viewing the manpage in
other formats (PS maybe?) makes the problem more obvious?

I agree that Ns looks strange there, but I can't reproduce the lack of
space between "LOCALRES" and "is" in either CURRENT (at home) or
STABLE (at freefall.freebsd.org and ref4.freebsd.org).

Submitter has tracked this down to a local manpage. 
The /usr/share manpage of dig is fine. 

Thanks for working patiently to track this down with me, 
and reporting your results.  Keep the good work up :)
