- Short: MrMan-like manual browser (needs FDB & MUI)
- Type: util/cli
- Uploader: tf@antares.ping.de (Tobias Ferber)
- Author: ferber@rpk.mach.uni-karlsruhe.de (Tobias Ferber)
- Distribution: GPL
-
- New: AMan can now also be invoked from the Workbench!
-
- AMan uses kMel's FindDB clone "FDB" to collect documentation files from a
- a given expression and lists the matches in a simple MUI window. Depening
- on a configuration file ENV:AMan.config it will then spawn an external
- viewer to show the selected file. A sample config file could look like
- this:
-
- ; Template: PATTERN/A,COMMAND/A
-
- "#?.(doc|txt|readme)" "Most *"%s*""
- "#?.dvi" "ShowDVI *"%s*""
- "#?.guide" "Run <NIL: >NIL: AmigaGuide *"%s*""
- "#?" "Run <NIL: >NIL: MultiView *"%s*""
-
- By default, AMan wants it's own FDB database "FindDB:aman.codes" however,
- it can read from any other database as well.
