10.3: Easily view man pages with Preview
Authored by: mistercow on Nov 02, '03 02:46:09PM
Great hint! I would recommend using the new "pstopdf" to convert it to pdf before opening it. It seems to convert faster from the command line than in preview. The slightly modified script looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
man -t $1 > /tmp/$1.ps
pstopdf /tmp/$1.ps /tmp/$1.pdf
open /tmp/$1.pdf
