I don't remember the details, but when I went to build some of the
Python docs on my Mac with OzTeX, I just put manual.cls in the same
directory as the docs. That way I din't have to mess with TEXINPUTS or
anything. Whether this makes sense depends on what you wnat to do. I was
only editing the Ma moduels reference at the time.

All in all, the whole package works a flawlessly on *nix, so I ended up
doing all the work on my Linux box.

Good lcuk,
