Description
-----------

vmanpg is an svgalib-based pager designed for viewing man pages, which
shows them in much the same way as `xman'. It uses the mono 640x480
mode, and should work on all VGA cards. It supports only a subset of
the keys/commands supported by `less', but all the most
commonly-used ones are available.

Normally you'd invoke vmanpg by using `vman' instead of `man' (vman
accepts all man's options), or by using `man -P vmanpg'. See the man
page (after installation) for more.


Installation
------------

Edit the Makefile if you want it to go somewhere other than
/usr/local/bin and /usr/local/man/man1, then do `make' and (as root)
`make install'.
