Some points:
ManOpen will open manual pages written in troff (nroff) syntax and is
especially useful when browsing through source directories. ManOpen includes a
cat2rtf converter which may also be used standalone. (Invoke with option -h to
get help) cat2rtf was tested with output of both nroff as provided with
NS3.0 and with gnroff (which generates nicer output). Formatting is somewhat
nicer than that seen in Librarian.
cat2rtf is implemented using a flex scanner description (cat2rtf.l). It should
work with lex too. Anyway, flex output cat2rtf.c.flex is included with the
ManOpen package.
ManOpen registers the extension .man only. Other useful extensions (like .1)
are used for other purposes too often (version numbers like TeXmenu4.1 for
example ;-) ). Nevertheless any file selected in the WorkSpace may
conveniently be opened using Service ``Open in ManOpen''. Please use
Preferences.app to select a shortcut for this Service.
Hope it will be of use for you - Harald Schlangmann.
