This file chronicles the status of the WoMan browser when applied to
specific man files.  They are primarily from the Cygwin b19/20
distribution, plus others from Linux, etc.  Of nearly 200 man source
files tested, most format well or at least satisfactorily.

This version of WoMan has been tested primarily using GNU Emacs 20.5.

Known general problems remaining:
	Full adjusting of lines by varying spaces needs improving.
	No pre-processor (eqn, tbl, etc) support.


0.52 tex: good (but complains about spurious .rb directive!)
0.52 mf: good except for table, which is readable (uses .fc)
	(but lots of ignorable complaints!)
