Sorry about that. Fine you noticed anyway:) > Looking at this, I see that this is not a cygport package.

As you say, overkill; I've fiddled around with cygport a few times already and I can't say I'm happy with it. While it seems to be powerful, especially basic use isn't documented in a basic way... Would you have a pattern for a script-only package for me, or even ready-to-use? > The license which applies to the original work here needs to be stated. Checking the package contributor's guide, a license does not seem to be strictly necessary, so I thought for a simple thing it could go as public domain implicitly. But if you prefer, I'll attach a gnu to it. > It would be helpful if the description clarified that what this does > is "show italic text in man pages properly as italic, rather than as > underlined" You mean the sdesc one-liner, not ldesc? I'd like to include the "enabling" aspect because the package does not do the actual display itself and does not need to be invoked as a tool, like: sdesc: "Enabling proper italic display of italic text in man pages, rather than underlined" OK? > That said, this works and is pretty cool. Nice! Thanks. Would that be a "GTG" after sorting out the issues, or are still 3 supporters needed as there used to be? Thomas
