It seems that the   make install   does a fine job of putting things
in their expected places.

It seems however that it was decided to change the style of man page
filenames between R2 and R3.   R2, files were named, for instance,
XDrArc.3X  while for R3 the name XDrArc.3X11 is used.  Also, the
Xt man pages are named  XtAddCbk.3Xt 

At least on ULTRIX 2.3, these man pages are not found.  My experience
is that they must have only two character extensions beyond the dot.

Of course we were running R2 previously so that both the *.3X and
the *.3X11 files were present, and man has an easy time of giving us
a page (albeit out-of-date) unless it is a new function.  The cat3/...
added even more fun to the game of which man pages worked and which
didn't.

Anyway, has anyone else seen this?
  and	did you simply rename all of them as 3X?
  or	is their a sweeter solution?

TIA,
ken.
