Is that english?

I love it when they say to see the man page and have no man page 😀

At least you're dealing with something that's probably been documented somewhere. I deal with bleeding edge Apache mods and file access issues every day and the only person that's ever made it work before is the engineer that developed it. That's sort of difficult because they don't know HOW to document.

Ever used Lindows? Good lord. Back in version 2, I clicked on help (for help on getting on the internet) and it tried loading a web page!! Duh, I could have told you the page would not be found!


Delete...

I really doubt it... apparently "tsql" was written by someone who used to work here at some unspecified date in the past...

If it's third party software then you probably didn't install the man pages properly or it's not in your manpath.

 

chris@panther:~$ fg blow

Installing man pages is not my job. It's entirely possible that someone else didn't install them properly...

Make sure the manpath is correct.

between dwell's comment and the use of "manpath", I don't think I want to follow this thread... 😀

I thought tsql was Transact-SQL. Sybase product.

 

[Chunkee]

others like sql 2000 use tsql

Perhaps a 'man ispell' is what's really in order?

Perhaps that's the origin, but I know that T-sql is the flavor of SQL that MS Sql server uses.

Doesn't matter if it's your job or not. Your statement is incorrect. It should say "The sys admin who installed TSQL on this machine forgot to install the man pages." 🙂
