What: TkMan (Phelps) Where: http://tkman.sourceforge.net/ ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/people/phelps/tcltk/tkman.tar.Z ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/people/phelps/tcltk/rman.tar.Z 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 .

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:phelps@cs.berkeley.edu (Tom Phelps) ---- The optional parts of tkman include use of gzgrep/zgrep/gnu grep to search texinfo files, a directory full of IETF RFC files, ability to specify a series of directories containing man pages, ability to specify a series of common printers, ability to specify DPI from the X server, support of groff or nroff (plus tbl, eqn, etc.), gzip and other compression programs, lpr or lp, the glimpse full text search software. ---- See also [Tch] and [Tclkit DOK commands] ---- [[ Author: [Tom Phelps] | [Category Application] | [Category Documentation] ]]
