Hello,

Is there an official DJGPP 'man' command?

In the mean time, I have ported an old Linux man binary to DJGPP. I just
wanted to be able to read all those nice wonderful man files ;-). At the
moment it is pretty much just a hack that sends the query's result to STDIN
(man uses fork --!yikes!) . I wrote a quick batch wrapper that takes that
stdin and tacks it to a bash script that bash runs.


Ben
