About man for newbies:
man for newbies (and oldies)

man 1.5i2, nroff, groff etc etc all of those strange Unixy things that you need just to run man.

  • No slicing,
  • no dicing,
  • no free steak knives,
  • no editing paths,
  • no geekgadgets required

It installs into /boot/home/config so you can run it from anywhere.

Be sure to get moooooooos man files also on here so you have something to use :)

I didn't compile ngroff and all those, but i compiled man which needed some of these files. It's free anyway!

Latest Version
   
Details about this version:
  • Fixed "missing library" error (accidently linked in some BONE libraries) so now it runs on "standard BeOS",
  • edited the makewhatis file with correct paths,
  • included the whatis keyword file so man -k works (try "man -k autoconf" as a test)

I must thank Alex Smith for filing the bug report.
Without people like him i would have never known this error existed.

Please email your bug reports to the author of any software on BeBits because we really appreciate the feedback! That's it!
