I see all the man pages are gzipped, so I'm guessing and hoping there's some command that not only gunzips them but updates MANPATH and makes me (not root) the owner of the executables and makes them executable. normally one will use the "man" command. The man pages are gzipped but will not implicate anything. To get the name of all man pages available for alliance $ rpm -ql alliance | grep man to read a particular man page:, e.g vhdl (/usr/share/alliance/man/man5/vhdl.5.gz) $ man vhdl (press q to quit and use the cursors to roam through the man page.) > Or do I have to go write my own script or go through them one by one? In any digital IC design flow, you will write a script. It will depend on your project's needs. You can start from an example provided with alliance-docs, see https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-electronic-lab/wiki/Demos Cheers, Chitlesh _______________________________________________ electronic-lab mailing list electronic-lab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/electronic-lab
