This software features a straightforward, attractive three-paned interface that simplifies the reading of man pages to the level of e-mail messages.
If you're a Mac OS X user looking for an intuitive way to access Unix software documentation, Manpower is an excellent option. Built as a graphical user interface to the main system of Unix software documentation (the man page), Manpower allows for easy and efficient access to the functionality and methods of the various Unix command-line programs.
With hundreds of programs installed on a Unix or Linux system, it can be difficult to navigate through the available man pages using the traditional "man program" command in the Unix terminal. The terminal has its limitations: small font size and the ability to read only one screen at a time, forcing users to frequently scroll and scan back to find the information they need.
Manpower provides a simple, elegant solution that makes reading man pages as easy as reading e-mail. The interface is divided into three panes, allowing users to quickly access and navigate through information about the program, its options, and its usage. This streamlined approach to man page navigation enables users to find the information they need quickly and efficiently.
Overall, Manpower is an excellent tool for Mac OS X users looking for a user-friendly way to access and understand Unix software documentation. Whether you're an experienced Unix user or just getting started, Manpower is a must-have addition to your toolset.
