I just installed a2ps and then: Cygwin> apropos a2ps a2ps: nothing appropriate Cygwin> makewhatis -u Cygwin> apropos a2ps a2ps (1) - format files for printing on a PostScript printer texi2dvi4a2ps (1) - Compile Texinfo and LaTeX files to DVI or PDF Cygwin>
So, wondering if it's standard for users to have to run makewhatis after an install or if that step is missing from a2ps's install script.
