Short: UNIX man command. Recognizes GUIDE files
Author: iske@informatik.uni-frankfurt.de (Kai Iske)
Uploader: iske@informatik.uni-frankfurt.de (Kai Iske)
Type: util/cli
This is a simple MAN command, known from UNIX systems. The advantage is, that
it recognizes .guide files to be AmigaGuide© documents. MAN then uses a
different viewer in order to display the AmigaGuide© document. Furthermore MAN
recognizes TeX-DVI files as well, using a different viewer to display them.
You may configure MAN using environment variables. Configuration can be done
for :
- Directories, where to look for man pages (.doc|.man|.guide|.dvi)
- ASCII Textviewer to use
- AmigaGuide© Textviewer to use
- DVI viewer to use
- Additional extensions for those filetypes
- Some more flags; take a look
PUBLIC DOMAIN, includes source...
Fixed since Version 1.13 (Yep, even a small program may have bugs ;)
- Fixed bug in calling the programs which return a code
unequal to zero
- Changed version numbering to official scheme
Fixed since Version 1.12 (Yep, even a small program may have bugs ;)
- Added new switch "MANLOCAL". This will cause
Man to search the current directory before any other
(Requested by : Mark Rose)
- Added ARexx-Script which allows the usage of Man
from within eg. ToolManager.
(written by : Franz S. Borgerding)
Fixed since Version 1.11a (Yep, even a small program may have bugs ;)
- WShell`s incompatibility to SystemTags() forced me to use
RunCommand() for launching the external viewer
(Suggested/Reported by : Ralph Babel + Ralph Schmidt)
Fixed since Version 1.11 (Yep, even a small program may have bugs ;)
- Man produced an enforcer hit when no manpage was supplied
(Reported by : Michael van Elst)
Fixed since Version 1.10 (Yep, even a small program may have bugs ;)
- Man will no longer issue an error if you a) didn`t specify a
manpage and b) set the MANGETFILE attribute for the File
Requester. This way the Requester will popup if you
call MAN without any arguments
(Requested by : Bill Hogsett)
- The FileRequester will pop up on the default PubScreen now
(Requested by : Bill Hogsett)
- The default path for the FileRequester will be set to the
first Dir of the MANPATHS now
(Requested by : Bill Hogsett)
- Support for DVI files added
- MAN will set the Viewer`s current dir of that where the
man page resides in
Fixed since Version 1.9 (Yep, even a small program may have bugs ;)
- Mike Barsoom added MANBASENAME attribute for stripping
off any path names from the manpage name. Useful when
launching MAN from within (ie) ToolsDaemon
(Submitted by : Mike Barsoom)
Fixed since Version 1.8 (Yep, even a small program may have bugs ;)
- Recompiled using SAS/C 6.51
- Added MANGETFILE parameter
(Requested by : Bill Hogsett)
Fixed since Version 1.7 (Yep, even a small program may have bugs ;)
- Man now correctly handles multi-assigns, since ExAll
doesn`t....;)
(Reported by : Jan Hoeydahl)
Fixed since Version 1.6 (Yep, even a small program may have bugs ;)
- All config variables have been moved to a single one,
which will be parsed just like a CommandLine
(Suggested by : Michael 'Mick' Hohmann)
Fixed since Version 1.5 (Yep, even a small program may have bugs ;)
- Added MANRMEXT, MANAGEXT and MANNOVIEW options,
which may be used for extensibility of MAN
(Somehow suggested by : Michael 'Mick' Hohmann)
Fixed since Version 1.4 (Yep, even a small program may have bugs ;)
- Referenced free memory area
Fixed since Version 1.3 (Yep, even a small program may have bugs ;)
- DOS-Library wasn`t closed
Fixed since Version 1.2 (Yep, even a small program may have bugs ;)
- Added CTRL-C checking
- Recompiled using SAS 6.50
- Reduced stack usage
- Reduced executable size
Fixed since Version 1.1 (Yep, even a small program may have bugs ;)
- One couldn`t type "Man man" to get the documentation of man
loaded, just because of the fact that I took "MAN" as a keyword
for the template...
Fixed since Version 1.0 (Yep, even a small program may have bugs ;)
- Accidentially called Exit() instead of exit(), which
prevented the program to pass the cleanup code of SAS.
So a lock to the directory was kept and the shell could
never been left.............
