Re: -mdoc vs. -man

I've had some requests from people who want to use the libarchive and
bsdtar manpages on non-BSD systems that don't support -mdoc.

Any problems if I reworked these manpages to only require -man-old for
compatibility with these systems? (Other than the inherent
tediousness of such a project, that is.)

Yes. At least from me.

All good points. Any leads on software that
can convert from -mdoc to -man? That
would neatly address this issue for me.
