REVERB  There is an unofficial universal binary of ManOpen available here: http://cverge.net/tools/#manopen  
(Version 2.5.1)

JOHN P HUGHES  If you are a Mac OS X 10.4.11 user, Man Handler offers a better way to add Man search paths - ManOpen does not show hidden directories!  
(Version 2.5.1)

CHRISCHRAM  You don't have to wait for an Intel version of this app. it's quite easy to compile. Just download the source code from the dev's website, in Terminal navigate to the source code's folder, type make. That Easy. (You must have Xcode installed for this magic to work.)  
(Version 2.5.1)

JOBBY  Main app works fine on Intel Macs, but the openman command doesn't :(

Any chance of a Universal build, please?  
(Version 2.5.1)

ILOVEITALY  Awesome job! Simple, effective, now supporting the 'n' man pages!  
(Version 2.5.1)

REVERB  Works as advertised. My favorite of the current crop of graphical manpage readers.  
(Version 2.5.1)

CACHE22  Great program, but one annoyance: it grabs ownership of any files with names ending in .1, .2 etc, which royally messes up a lot of Classic applications that have version numbers in their names. Even after removing ManOpen from my computer, several of those apps still aren't recognised as applications at all.  
(Version 2.5)

ANONYMOUS  Thank you for the update! I love this. So nice to be able to read the man page in one window while working on the command line in another. Room for improvement?

1) The little dialog box for opening man pages seems to always come up at the same spot, no matter where you move it, and is always hidden behind the man pages I open from the command line.

2) I've never had any success configuring the man path for the ManOpen application (using the preference dialog). I always have to resort to setting my manpath in the shell for this to work. Why allow the user to add man paths in the application, if they don't help the application find anything after all?  
(Version 2.5)

ANONYMOUS  Rich, read the README file! You're a unix guy and you're complaining about an installer? What ever happened to cp or mv? Or, if you don't mind the non-sophisticated non-unix way, try the Finder drag-and-drop? I installed mine in /Applications/ManOpen/ and it could find its own man page.  
(Version 2.5)

RICH  Awful.

• An installer script would be nice...

• Confusing names: is it ManOpen or openman?

• It can't even open it's own man page...

Not looking good. I'm going to stick with xman, which comes with every X11 implementation. Much simpler, and standard across every platform (which is why we're using Unix in the first place, right?).

Just put this in your X11 preferences:

Name: xman

Command: export MANPATH=`/usr/bin/manpath` GROFF_TYPESETTER=latin1;/usr/X11R6/bin/xman

Dead easy, no downloads, and completely transparent. In other words, the Unix way of doing things.  
(Version 2.5)

FAB  Great!

Simple, useful and with command-line integration.  
(Version 2.5)

ANONYMOUS  cool! i've been using this since forever, and it's been since forever that it's been updated. there's no better man page viewer out there.  
(Version 2.5)

ANONYMOUS  Does exactly what it should, and I also am a big fan of the command line component; more developers should use these types of tools with their projects.  
(Version 2.4)

ANONYMOUS  Very nice! This is my favorite man page viewer for OS X. It's much nicer than having to browse man pages in a terminal window.

Thanks for adding the command line utility "openman." This is something which I had often wished for, but which didn't exist (to my knowledge) in the earlier version I had.

Thanks for keeping it free and up to date. Your time and effort is appreciated.
