>Description:
EXAMPLES section of pax.1 has

     The following commands:
           mkdir newdir
           cd olddir
           pax -rw . newdir
     will copy the entire olddir directory hierarchy to newdir.

but this example doesn't work as explained.

>How-To-Repeat:
river% mkdir newdir
river% cd olddir
river% pax -rw . newdir
pax: Cannot access destination directory newdir <No such file or directory>

>Fix:
Correct example can be

  mkdir newdir
  cd olddir
  pax -rw . ../newdir
