"Fossies" - the Fresh Open Source Software Archive 
Member "rman-3.2/contrib/README-contrib" (26 Jul 2003, 4647 Bytes) of package /linux/www/old/rman-3.2.tar.gz:
As a special service "Fossies" has tried to format the requested text file into HTML format (style:
standard) with prefixed line numbers.
Alternatively you can here
view or
download the uninterpreted source code file.
1 This directory contains files contributed by PolyglotMan users. These
2 files are not installed, supported or regularly updated to work with
3 new versions of PolyglotMan. They are included because some may find
4 them useful, and if so they prevent duplication of effort.

8 * sutter.txt - "Edward L. Sutter" <els@sage.sage.att.com>
9
10 "...converting "man" directories with their typical sub-directories of
11 man1, man2, etc... to an equivalently structured "html" directory with
12 the same sub-directory heirarchy."
13
14 "I added an option to rman that allows it to search for the files over
15 a specified set of directories. This allows (for example) manpages under
16 man1 that reference something under man3 to be properly linked."

20 * bennett.txt - Anne Bennett <anne@alcor.concordia.ca>
21
22 "... I applied the mods in contrib/sutter.txt, and then amplified
23 them. I append the relevant context diffs. In short, I added options
24 "-P" (a URL prefix for use with the paths found by "-S"), and "-H" and
25 "-F" (header and footer HTML files to help adjust the style of the
26 resulting page, for example by adding company logos,
27 return-to-home-page buttons, etc.)."

31 * authried.txt - Erwin Authried <eauth@mail4u.atnet.at>
32
33 "I wrote a small perl script (it's a quick hack) to view man-pages
34 with the web-browser."

38 * gzip.patch - Todd Larason <jtl@molehill.org>
39
40 "I keep several manpage hierarchies locally, for easy comparison when
41 programming for multiple unix machines, most of which are across a
42 relatively slow link. To save disk space, I keep them gzipped.
43
44 "Here's a small patch to make .so handling work against gzipped files.
45 It's a late-night-after-a-long-day hack, but it seems clean enough. If
46 you think there might be any interest, feel free to include it either in
47 rman itself or the contrib directory. It's against 3.0a3."

51 * man2html - Marc Donner (donner@fid.morgan.com)
52
53 A Korn Shell script that is moderately generic. It takes all the
54 files in a directory or a set of directories and does them one at a
55 time, putting the html output somewhere appropriate. The only
56 infelicity in the script is the stuff with localeo (local electronic
57 office) which is a hack put together to tweak the URLs not to refer to
58 localhost, which is broken right now, but directly to the local
59 server's alias.

63 * sco-wrapper.sh - Dag Nygren <dag@newtech.fi>
64
65 SCO puts the names of valid man page sections in the file /etc/default/man.
66 This wrapper extracts the names from this file and passes them on to
67 PolyglotMan for use in determining man page cross references.

71 * http-rman.{c,html} - Fredrik Lundh <fredrik@kalle.teragon.ivab.se>
72
73 An HTTP server using PolyglotMan to produce hypertext renditions of
74 man-pages on the fly.

84 * hman.{cgi,ksh,pl} by teto@geocities.com
85 A more recent version may be available at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/8777/hman.html
86
87 hman.cgi An example of a cgi-bin wrapper to launch hman.pl
88 Ideally, all customization should occur here
89 hman.ksh A stand-alone (non-browser) version of hman.cgi
90 hman.pl The core of the PolyglotMan front-end
91
92 "I've written a man to html front-end that appears to have unique features:
93 A second attempt to locate related man pages is made if the original
94 inquiry fails
95
96 "Since PolyglotMan can filter nroff's output or can work with raw
97 nroff files, this viewer allows selection of the actual man page
98 file. Thus either raw or cooked man pages can be selected directly.
99
100 "The program is basic perl, but the implementation allows all customization
101 to be embodied in enviroment variables that should be set in a cgi-bin
102 wrapper."
