While one is at this, Might I request putting some more stuff back into 
the man page? "man convert" is exceptionally terse, and, while it does 
contain a pointer to the HTML docs, this isn't ideal.

A way to do it would be to copy the approach taken by sox:
   man sox:  		- intro
   man soxi		- get metadata
   man soxeffect		- effect documentation
   man soxformat		- file format specification
   man soxexam		- examples

Regards,

Richard
