Index: man/man1/sort.1 Fix
Description:
The "sort" manual page is misdisplayed on terminals such as VT100s
due to a bug in the "more" command.
Repeat-By:
Hop on a VT100 or equivalent and use the command
man sort
Fix:
Rather than wasting more time dealing with more more bugs, change
the line in the file "man1/sort.1" that reads:
.if n -mubdfinrt^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H_________x
(where "^H" represents a backspace character) to read:
.if n -_^Hm_^Hu_^Hb_^Hd_^Hf_^Hi_^Hn_^Hr_^Htx
