GNU info pages BLOW

How many times have you looked up a man page only to discover that it's useless and you're told to view the info page instead? Well, info is an abortion and I refuse to use it.

How do you cope? Lets the healing begin.

Curious if anyone has a nifty 'man' wrapper that auto-magically probes for an info document and converts that into a man page on-the-fly.

  • I search Google.

  • pinfo is nice if you have to look at info pages

  • I run BSD systems. The manpages are normally up to date and useful, and include helpful stuff like EXAMPLES.

    If I have a GNUism that requires me to use info I ask Google, great knower of all things, to help me.
