Hi there,

I can only try your tool on WinXP at the moment, but it works there, too.
It looks GREAT :D
But if I try to make my own Manpage:

./" My test Manpage
.TH Testing the man tool
.SH NAME 
.NL
Test Manpage
.SH DESCRIPTION
.NL
The
.B man
tool looks
.B AWESOME !!!!!
*g*


The tool shows:



 	NAME 
 
 	Test Manpage 

 	DESCRIPTION
 
 	The  man tool looks  AWESOME !!!!! *g* WESOME !!!!! 

		 	Testing the man tool


What's that WESOME !!!!! doing there?

Greetings

Jonas

Betreff: [ros-general] ReactOS manual project

Hi dear developers and users!
If you remember, some month ago, i wrote "ReactOS man browser" in .cmd
script.
Now i rewrote it on "c". This version have some compatibility with
UNIX-like manual pages. ;)
I simply have opened Linux manual file foo.1 and looked at used  tags.

Now about problems...
1. I has failed to achieve full compatibility :(  I was compelled to use
    special "newline" tag (.NL).
    But Linux manual pages displays almost correctly.  (See file
    used_tags.txt for list of supported tags)
2. Force use of system text color. (by default in Win2k)
3. Non environment varrible MANPATH.
4. More others :) I'm just first year student :)

Who can realize screen scrolling? May be use "more" code for this?
Thanks for your time :)
