This is the manual for the Manx Aztec C System for ProDOS on Apple //'s :
=========================================================================
This software was released as (c) freeware by Phade Software Dec-1999
These are the original instructions, some of the work has already
been finished for you. Specifically, the archive has been unpacked
from the Phade archive. Under the MAN folder is the text file directories
as mentioned below. Feel free to store the MAN folder wherever you
want as long as you point the MANPATH environment variable.
If you are using the AZTEC PLUS release you should use this reference
instead of the one supplied. There may be text in the old version that
you will want to keep. It is left as a project of the user to incorporate
the old text into the new MAN.
Again, thanks to Phade for releasing this software and taking the time
to answer my e-mail.

[Version 5.00]
First compile the file UNCOMPRESS.C in the directory /AZTEC.MAN.1 .
Then uncompress all files with the ending '.Z' like MAN.ARC.Z .
Wildcards are allowed with the utility UNCOMPRESS.
In CAT1.ARC are all man-pages for Aztec C function.
In CAT2.ARC are all Aztec C utilities.
Create a directory CAT and copy the file MAN.HEADER to it.
Create seperate directories for CAT1 and CAT2 and copy the
man-pages in the right one.
Then unarc all archives with the ending '.ARC' with the system
utility ARCV.
Then compile the file MAN.C.
Then you have to set the environment variable MANPATH to your
directories CAT, CAT1 and CAT2, it will maybe look like this :
/USR/MAN/CAT:/USR/MAN/CAT1:/USR/MAN/CAT2:

Note, when in the synopsis part of a manual page
/* Apple // and UNIX function */ or
/* Apple // and UNIX utility */ is given
this only means that the function or utility is supported for UNIX, but it
hasn't to be the same description.
Options:
-a shows all valid keywords in special-mode
-p prints all valid man-pages in raw-mode
-r turns special-mode off
Special-mode means, that the characters are written quickly and a
more-function is started by pressing any key, during printing.
Raw-mode means, that the characters are written using the library
function 'printf'. So you can redirect the printout.
By default, special-mode is enabled.

man open - shows the manual page for the function open.
man arcv - shows the manual page for the utility arcv.
man -r arcv - shows the manual page for the utility arcv in raw-mode.
man -a - shows the names of all functions and programs that have a
manual page.
