The following 'psman' shell script is designed for OpenWindows 2 sites who
lack ditroff. It is plug-compatible with the OW2 psman. This shell
script is in the public domain.
'thack' is available from most comp.sources.misc servers (e.g. uunet). I
believe the Rice server also has it. The latest version of thack is patch
6.
#! /bin/sh
# Display man pages on OpenWindows 2 using thack.
# This command accepts the options of both pageview(1) and man(1);
# pageview options, if any, must come first.
