I used Pacifist to look at the installers on the Xcode CD. Several man pages
there, but not the ones I needed.
So I looked at the BSD installer package on the Panther 1 CD. It has all of
the man pages I had lost. I ran just the BSD installer and have the pages
back. I don9t know how or why they got deleted, I had installed BSD with the
Panther install.
Just wanted to document the solution in case anyone else runs in to this.

I had re-installed Xcode before I sent this original message, hoping it
would restore the man pages.
I just now looked at the install.log. It has many, many lines 3Cannot find
file: /usr/share/man/man3/xxxxx.32.

I have the man page for strcmp installed on my machine, for whatever
that may be worth. It shows up in section 3, as expected.
I don't think I've installed anything beyond the four CDs that shipped
with Panther which might have added it specially.
