TkMan ----- an X-based manual page viewer and browser. Far superior to xman; I think it's the current best approach to man page presentation. Available via anonymous ftp from: ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/people/phelps/tcltk/tkman.tar.Z TkInfo ------ an X-based hypertext interface to the GNU texinfo .info file format. World Wide Web (WWW), Mosaic and Lynx ------------------------------------- HTML looks like the leading candidate for formatted and annotated text at the moment, so even if WWW dies, an investment in HTML-based tools will probably continue to be useful. Word Perfect, BBEdit, and other vendors are beginning to support HTML editing. Gopher ------ seems to be the low-rent ASCII-based information delivery system of choice, but I'm not sure it's the right choice.

Combining gopher with WAIS for searching can create a more effective documentation system.
