Re: I can't find 'man', 'clear', 'info', 'more', 'less' etc.


for less, man, groff, nroff ... : check Ben Collver's page:
http://mothership.dnc.net/~collver/man.htm
for clear, used the attached cls.exe ( rename it as you wish)
Also, try push c^l ( control + l) in bash anytime you wish to clear the
screen and redraw the current line.

Sincerely,
Wei Ku

> Hello there, dear friends,

> I am really sorry if the following question has already appeared in this
list before, but, as I am new to the subject, I will put it anyway. It seems
that ver. b18 of Cygwin32 is missing the equivalent of some very useful
utilities like 'man' ( I can see a directory named 'man' in the structure,
but have no way of using its contents ), 'info' ( same as before ... ),
'more' ( or 'less' ) and 'clear'. What do I have to do to solve the problem
?
