ManOpen
Authored by: kholburn on Oct 07, '02 08:55:28AM

I've used ManOpen for a long time. In fact since 10.0.4 when I tried all 3 of the current graphical man page viewers. There's more now. ManOpen was the best for reasons I can't remember any more although they each had their good points. ManOpen allows sort of hyperlinks which allow you to open other related man pages just by clicking on them. The other thing I liked about ManOpen is that you can open a manpage file directly which is quite difficult under unix (I can never work out the actual command line to do that - I'm not talking about an "installed" man page here).

Here's a current list from versiontracker:
GMan! 1.0b2   -  graphical MAN page viewer 515k Beta 04/25/2001
JAW ShaManX 0.9d   -  displays Unix 'man' pages, executes shell commands list Freeware 01/07/2002

ManOpen 2.3.2   -  graphical interface for viewing Unix manual pages 75k Freeware 10/23/2001
manThor 1.1b2   -  manpage viewer, acts as service 80k Freeware 04/17/2002
Xmanview 1.0   -  Man page viewer with apropos and command line support 259k Freeware 04/27/2001
