While looking for a way to print nicely formated man pages (sometimes I find them easier to read on paper than scrolling up and down in the terminal... call me weird), I came across this handy little freeware app called ManOpen. ManOpen makes finding and searching man pages easy! It also has an "apropos" feature ( man -k), letting you see all man pages available for reading. And of course, the printing feature works great. Printed man pages come out looking like they should and easy to read. ManOpen also comes with a command line tool
openman. You can find out more about ManOpen on it's
home page.
Here are some screen shots:


Runs on Mac OSX. What's not to like?
