Hi folks,
I highly appreciate your work to provide excellent tools for
decades.
There is one thing I would like to ask for, though: Would you
mind to support "full" man pages instead of the "full-docu-can-
be-found-in-info-or-on-the-web-only" pages (e.g. dd(1), cpio(1))?
Advantages:
- no break in your regular workflow, regardless on which
unix-like system you are logged in or which man page you
try to access
- no page breaks, but full documentation on a single page.
Its very easy to navigate.
- focused on providing the information. The user interface
is provided by more or less, common to other tools.
I am not asking you to drop the info pages, of course, but IMHO
keeping things simple and the DOTADIW approach should still be
considered as a major feature of Unix-like systems.
Please keep on your good work
Harri
