Hello Dick,

thanks for looking into this.

BTW, I know it worked on my machine too. But texdoc does not find any
documentation now.

I can live with texdoc.net for the time being, but I reported the
problem in case it should be a bug related to a recent update.

Yes, it's an alias. And when I drag and drop it from the Finder to
Terminal I get the same result as before:

Mangold:~ juergenfenn$ /usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-darwin/texdoc
