I have recently picked up a copy of genman 2.0. It produces man style documents
from C++ .h files. I have found a couple of small problems with it. Before I go
off and learn awk and fix them myself I would like to find out what the latest
version is. Mail to the author, Bob Mastors (mastors@epochsys), was bounced
at epochsys.
I would also be interested in any enhancements/fixes that may have been done.
In case people are interested, by using genman we are now able to simply type
"man class" and get a standard format description of a class. Sort of a poor
man's class browser.

My apologies if this has been discussed before, but I would really like to know 1) what exactly does this program do 2) what language(s) is it implemented in 3) where to get it If answer to question 3 is an anonymous ftp site, 1 & 2 become obsolete. I'd prefer email. ==pena -- Olli-Matti Penttinen <pena@fuug.innopoli.fi> Brainware Oy "When in doubt, use brute force."

Concerning the genman program: > 1) what exactly does this program do > 2) what language(s) is it implemented in > 3) where to get it The purpose of the genman.awk program is to generate man page style documentation about a C++ class from its include file. Implemented in awk. Posted to comp.sources.misc in July. You can get it from uunet: /usr/spool/ftp/comp.sources.misc/volume13/genman-2.0: -rw-r--r-- 1 allbery 16031 Jul 2 19:59 part01.Z My address has changed. I am still interested in bug reports and enhancement requests.
