From: "Jason D. Kridner" Subject: Where can I find man? To: djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu (DJ's GNU C++ Listserv) Date: Sat, 10 Apr 93 18:51:51 CDT I posted the following to comp.os.msdos.desqview,comp.lang.perl,comp.emacs: This is an odd selection of cross posts, but I don't follow too many news groups and this question seems very fundamental. I own a pc compatible running 4dos, dv/x, djgpp (gnu c++), perl, and demacs. I am constantly downloading little C/X-Window/perl/elisp programs and there associated man files. I've tried installing xman for dv/x from anon-ftp to qdeck.com, but I don't have all the proper fonts installed. I have also installed man.btm for 4dos from an archive in the 4dos directory of a simtel mirror; it simply is unrelated to Unix man (troff?) format. I also copied man.el for demacs, but it tries to call a man binary executable. Where can I find a _COMPLETE_ man or xman utility? Or where can I find complete C, perl, or elisp sources for man? Perl seems like a logical choice to me. Elisp routines could easily call the perl script and it would save me from juggling another handful of once run sources. And what use is a GUI for man files? -- Jason Kridner / jdk AT tamu DOT edu -- Jason Kridner / jdk AT tamu DOT edu
