  14. If you have (or are thinking of getting) perl, then try Tom Christiansen's
  15. man program.  It's in pub/perl/scripts/man.shar.Z on convex.convex.com.  It
  16. supports dozens of features (MANPATH, compressed manual pages, section/topic
  17. indexing, etc.).  Plus, since it written in perl, it's very easy to modify
  18. for local tastes.
