I have been meaning for some time now to blog about ManOpen, a GUI man page viewer originally developed on NEXT, and another example of a hybrid app. However, Brett Terpstra over at TUAW has beaten me to it, in a post comparing a number of GUI man page viewers (including plugins that allow the viewing of man pages in your browser).
In the comments, someone mentions piping man pages to AquaLess, a GUI text pager for OS X. Not nearly as full featured as ManOpen, but AquaLess is another cool hybrid app. So make sure to check out the comments to Brett’s post for more ideas about viewing man pages outside of the confines of the terminal.
