Обсуждение: man pages on win32
Hi! Does anybody see any reason at all to install the man pages on win32? Considering there is no man reader... //Magnus
I'm normally a lurker here but as I've not seen anyone else respond I thought I'd give my opinion. I would install the man pages on win32. They are a nice form of documentation for those of us that come from the Unix world. Isn't there a man reader in Cygwin? I know the native port will not need Cygwin, but many people will already have it, especially those that know about man pages. Just my two cents. Kevin.

Hello, If we were to do it right, the man pages would be converted to Windows help files. Sincerely, Joshua D.

I should've mentioned - the HTML pages should definitly go in, and we should probably do a CHM file as well (windows help file). pgadmin has one of the postgres docs, so we could probably adapt that one. //Magnus >-----Original Message----- >From: Joshua D.

It's rumoured that Magnus Hagander once said: > I should've mentioned - the HTML pages should definitly go in, and we > should probably do a CHM file as well (windows help file). pgadmin has > one of the postgres docs, so we could probably adapt that one. Theres no point including the html pages *and* the chm - the latter contains 100% of the former. Regards, Dave

If you want to index it with index server or similar for quick searching. But I guess if you're that advanced, you can get a separate tarball. Wouldn't want to make the installation too large/complicated, yes. //Magnus
