Yes, indeed. The reader is *very* small.
The 'man' command is just a one-line script:
------------------
zless /usr/man/$1*
------------------
This works because I put pre-formated manpages in
/usr/man. No need for troff or groff or anything.
It's also faster using pre-formated pages (even
allowing time for decompression).
BTW, BasicLinux does not currently have have zless, so
this would need to be added. Alternatively, you could
use zcat|more (both currently in BasicLinux) to do the
same sort of thing, although not as nicely as zless.
Cheers,
Steven
