Today I missed having seq (from the GNU coreutils package), which prints a sequence of numbers. I downloaded the source and compiled it without any problems. The following steps assume that you already have a ~/bin directory.
% cd coreutils-5.0 % ./configure % make % cp src/seq ~/bin
% mkdir ~/bin/man % mkdir ~/bin/man/man1 % cp man/seq.1 ~/bin/man/man1Add export MANPATH=~/bin/man:$MANPATH to your .bashrc. You have to do something equivalent if you are using tcsh. Now man seq should work as well.
