But of course, for interactive use, just rely on the HTML search form. The list of available releases now includes 4.4BSD-Lite2 and UNIX-7, too, just in case you are stuck with old hardware that is no longer supported. ;-) The OpenBSD-5.9 manuals are already up, too, just in case you didn't order the CD set yet and wonder whether we are still doing any development and whether it's worth to keep the project going... > If you have a web site that links openbsd man pages, it's easy to change > just replace the http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi with > http://man.openbsd.org - it takes all the same arguments. > > man.openbsd.org runs Ingo's latest and gives him a nice place to host > it that it dedicated only to that purpose.

Many more people helped with the new code over the years, and i won't attempt to list them all as i'd probably forget some even if i tried - so i'll just mention two: Kristaps Dzonsons originally wrote the code, not only of mandoc(1), but also of makewhatis(8), apropos(1), and man.cgi(8), the latter in 2011/2012, and Sebastien Marie (semarie@) did a security audit of man.cgi(8) in 2014. Yours, Ingo
