Hello.

I'd like to announce the DJGPP version of gnumaniak 1.5.

gnumaniak is a set of man pages written for the GNU tools. The reason: GNU
tools only come with info documentation, and not everybody likes info.

This distribution contains gnumaniak 1.5's man pages reorganised to fit
snugly into the DJGPP directory structure. All the man pages go into
$DJDIR/man/man1. Naturally you will need man to read them (see v2apps/ in
the DJGPP FTP archive).  The pages provided are for:

. binutils 2.9.1
. diffutils 2.7.2
. fileutils 4.0
. libtool 1.3.2
. sh-utils 2.0
. textutils 2.0

WARNING: These may not be the same as the versions of the packages in the
DJGPP archive.

I have omitted the man page for 'libltdl', because I have never heard of
it and I have no idea what it is. It doesn't seem relevant to DJGPP
anyhow.

gnumaniak 1.5 for DJGPP can be downloaded at your local Simtelnet archive
of DJGPP in the v2gnu/ directory - the archive is gman15d.zip. The
following link works from the UK:

ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gman15d.zip

gnumaniak was written by Ragnar Hojland Espinosa and is available from
here:

http://personal.redestb.es/ragnar/gnumaniak-1.5.tar.gz
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/linux-doc-project/man-pages

It is distributed under the LDP General Public License, which is in the
archive.

Bye,
