Where are you looking?


There's a copy on the TCLLIB home page:

I've been updating the documentation on the SF web site
semiautomatically, usually about once a week.  It's not
done through a cron job because I often need to make
small corrections to the manpage source by hand after a
cvs update (plus, my SSH key and all the conversion tools
are on my laptop).

Note that the comm.n.html manpage doesn't go through the
same conversion process as the other pages; I just mirror the
HTML version straight from CVS.  The FTP and Tcl-MIME modules
are also treated separately since they use other formats for
their native documentation (HTML and the IETF RFC DTD (!), resp.)

(Actually Andreas Kupries has written NROFF manpages for
these packages, which are also on the SF web site along with
the original package docs.)
