pman-2.3.pet (2014-07-08)
Searches the Puppy Linux Wiki
Supports PHelp.

Pop up GUI when called without parameter. puppyhelp is now the symlink to pman. indexgen.sh does not update the index.html because the GUI has pull-down menu to list up all the installed apps in the menu. It will speed up at installing PET's.

pman searches documents in the order of the following...
1. (if man2html is installed)
under /usr/share/man/$lang, where $lang is determined from $LANG.
under /usr/share/man ... (along with the environment variable 'MANPATH')

Without X, pman uses w3m or lynx, if installed. Or another option is nroff.

2. under /usr/share/doc/help/$lang, where $lang is determined from $LANG.
3. under /usr/share/doc
4. online homepages described in /root/.packages/PKGS_HOMEPAGES
5. (only if $LANG is japanese)
Japanese Puppy Wiki pages
JP project pages
6. http://linux.die.net/man (section can be specified)

Supports PHelp.
if the PHelp (/usr/share/doc/PH[0-9]*[_-]$LANG.ncd or PH[0-9]*.ncd) is found,
the puppyhelp shows the PHelp instead of the index.html.
