I seem to remember seeing it somewhere...Let me go look for it... Hmmmmm, if you speak Spanish, here is something for man2txt: #!/usr/bin/perl
#Por C2H5OH (aka etanol). #Copyleft 2001. GNU General Public License. #Comunicar bugs a [EMAIL PROTECTED] sub muestra_ayuda { print "Sintaxis: \tman2txt alias outfile\n"; print "\t- alias: es el nombre de la página man (p.e: fork).\n"; print "\t- outfile: el nombre del fichero de salida en formato texto.\n"; print "\n"; exit(1); } #Pal que no entienda esto: man man; man bash open (IN, "man -P \"cat -v\" $ARGV[0] 2>/dev/null |") and open (OUT, ">$ARGV[1]") or muestra_ayuda; while (<IN>) { s/.\^H//g; s/M\-{2}/\-/; print OUT; } close IN; #Y ya que tenemos buenos modales ;) close OUT; Found here: http://bulmalug.net/body.phtml?nIdNoticia=1028 Got to love the penguin picture... Another page had this: http://www.filelibrary.com/Contents/DOS/22/9.html Looks like Windows programs... Or, this command could work: man [progname] | col -b > progname.man.txt Found this somewhere else: #!/bin/csh man $1 | 2txt > $1.txt Or, you could try this guys aliases: http://www.jttk.zaq.ne.jp/sagawa/html/pc/dot/.csh.aliases And this guy has some good utils on his page: http://www.geocities.com/jasonpell/oldprograms.html Hope all of this helps... Tell me how it comes out... Brendan >Brendan wrote: > > # ./man2txt < umlug.1x.txt | less > >Brendan, > >Thanks for this! Where did you find man2txt.
