- I can't help with the postscript part, but this is what I do to
- convert a man entry for a given command to a text file:
-
- man command |col -b >temp;uniq temp m_command;rm temp;vi m_command
-
- Actually, I have a line in my .cshrc file that aliases this for me,
- but you get the idea. I'm sure there are slicker ways to do this
- and I'd be grateful to anyone who would follow up with a better
- method.
