Hi I noticed this....

-------------
NAME
     mmap, munmap - map or unmap files or devices into memory

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/mman.h>

     caddr_t mmap(caddr_t addr, size_t len, int prot , int flags,
     int fd, off_t offset );
     int munmap(caddr_t addr, size_t len); WARNING: This is a BSD
     man page.  Linux 0.99.11 can't map files, and can't do other
     things documented here.
-------------

This is a fallacy. Linux *can* mmap() files. I used it in my catgets()
functions reliably and perfectly.

Please change this.

Mitch
