> PC... it's a sad world). It certainly sounds like a strange problem. I suspect that: 1. It is not your Cygwin (Unix) permissions since you can execute /usr/bin/tbl manually (and /usr/bin/man, but man cannot execute other things) 2. You are running NT/2000/XP and there is something wrong with the ACLs. I'm afraid I'm not much of an expert at troubleshooting ACLs. You might read the Cygwin User's Guide section about NT permissions. I see an interim solution, though... you can just read man pages with pinfo or info. You also might try reinstalling the 'man' package to make sure the config files weren't hosed. HTH. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
