The first release (1.0) of these programs was somewhat riddled with
bugs. I think I've gotten most of the bad ones, at least it seems to
perform as advertised now.
This is what's here:
'sman' is a manual type program that allows you to specify very general
rules for looking up documentation on a subject. It has facilities for
searching Amiga AutoDoc format files for an entry, and for scanning through
dme.refs format files, as used by Matt Dillon's DME editor. As well, of
course, it can look for documentation based on the name of a file (ie. you
say 'sman fred' and it might look for 'DOCS:fred.doc' depending on how you
set things up.)
'sless' is a text file viewing program with some features that make it work
particularly well with 'sman'. I think it as at least as good as more.
New to version 1.1
Fixed a serious bug in sman that would sometimes make it totally
overlook a perfectly good dme.refs or autodoc format match.
Fixed a minor bug in sless that made it start at the wrong line
number with the -l command line option (only if the file had
^L control sequences in it)
There is a new version of sregexp.library that fixes a couple
of potential GURU causing bugs.
