pinfo is actually pretty nice. <snip> Pinfo is a hypertext info file viewer with a user interface similar to lynx. It is based on curses/ncurses, and can handle info pages as well as man pages. It also features regexp searching and user-defined colors/keys. </snip> I know the info pages for cvs are really excellent and would be really tough to wade through if they were all linear (aka man style). _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
