TkMan 2.1b3 (beta) can be found on ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/people/phelps/ tcltk/tkman.tar.Z, for example. You also need the latest PolyglotMan (ne RosettaMan), a manual page filter: ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/people/phelps/tcltk/rman.tar.Z (TkMan runs on Tcl/Tk 8.1 and 8.2, available at http://www.scriptics.com/) > Ok, i have an installation on my box.
