Man viewer is a easy to use program to view the man pages that are installed on the current system. The user can search and filter the man pages based on name and section. The user can also export the man page to plain text and styled PostScript.
- Universal so it runs natively on PowerPC and x86 Macs.
- Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or higher

Change log:
- 3.1.1
- Changed the $MANPATH feature to use /usr/bin/manpath instead (this is for Snow Leopard users or those who have an empty $MANPATH environment variable)
- Fixed the manpath feature so that it uses your default login shell instead of just bash (this is for those who don't use bash as your login shell)
- Upon clicking on a different man page, the viewer scrolls to the top so you see the beginning whether or not you were scrolled down in the previous man page
- Fixed some minor bugs in the preferences pane
- 3.1
- Refactored some code so that initial launch times are extremely fast compared to previous versions!
- Added a caching feature so after the initial launch, future launches will yet be even faster
- On first run the preferences default to what $MANPATH is set to. Also there is now a button in the preferences that allows you to revert the preferences to $MANPATH
