man was written by John Eaton (jwe@bevo.che.wisc.edu).
He does not maintain man anymore - please do not bother
him with remarks about the current version, which is
rather different from the original one.
man-1.2 was released by Zeyd M. Ben-Halim (zmbenhal@netcom.com).
man-1.3, man-1.4* and man-1.5* were released by Andries Brouwer (aeb@cwi.nl).
I still maintain this program. The current version is usually found
in ftp.win.tue.nl:/pub/linux-local/utils/man .
In man-1.5 Richard Verhoeven's man2html was added, together with
some scripts by Michael Hamilton. This html stuff is still alpha
(but it works - no negative reports so far).
There is a very different man program, also derived from
John Eaton's original version (by Graeme W. Wilford)
distributed under the name man_db, with version numbers
like man_db-2.3.10. Do not confuse the two, they are
mutually incompatible, although they perform nearly the same job.
