Description: A full featured, must have Tk based man page reader providing
full text search and great hypertext links.
Compatible with IBM AIX, BSDI, FreeBSD, HP-UX, SCO, SGI Irix,
Linux, OSF/1, SunOS 4/5, System V, and DEC Ultrix.
Requires RosettaMan/PolyglotMan, Tk 7.5 and Tk 4.1 or later.
It supports an outlining (with excerpt display) user interface,
GNU texinfo file reader, database kept in memory, command name
completion, man page highlights, and many other features now
supported. TkMan 2 now supports Tcl 8.x.
Note there is another unrelated tar file called tkman on the net,
so be sure that you get the one from this FTP site if you want
the one most folk refer to in relationship to Tcl/Tk.
Currently this is at version 2.1 .

Description: UNIX man page filter - converts formatted man pages into
other formats such as ASCII only, TkMan, troff, nroff,
Ensemble, SGML, HTML, MIME, LaTeX, LaTeX2e, RTF, and Perl 5 POD.
This isn't written in Tcl/Tk, but is used by TkMan and could be used by
others.
Note that current version reads unformatted nroff and produces
better output than when it reads formatted output.Updated: 07/1999 Contact: mailto:[email protected] (Tom Phelps)
