Project Builder's man page viewer (Help menu, Open man page...) uses rman (also known as PolyglotMan, and previous to that, RossettaMan). It seems to handle the variously formatted man source quite well.
PB's interface to the man pages leaves much to be desired (it's on the list!), but it gives you basic access to individual pages: chmod(2) ls ....and it lets you search all sections, a la apropos. Try it out if you haven't already. -- Matt On Wednesday, October 2, 2002, at 10:56 AM, Puneet Kishor wrote: > Pete Prodoehl wrote: >> My thought was that some of the functionality found in the PHP >> version might be nice in the Perl version ;) >> (This being a perl list...) > > Hi Pete, > > I checked out the php man viewer.
