- lewiscollard 2y agoNot author, but lc was posted on HN some years ago and at the time I was like "oh, I should really port over the original man page some day". After which I half did it, then forgot about it. I'm commenting here to commit myself to actually finishing that!
- oguz-ismail 2y agoThere's a man page here <https://github.com/gspu/Coherent/blob/a00b86ea22c66625cf1838a71c06129f5eda2b49/doc/mwc/doc/coherent/lx/lc https://github.com/gspu/Coherent/blob/a00b86ea22c66625cf1838...>
- lewiscollard 2y agoThere's also one in this PR now :) Saying I'm going to do something is more likely to get it done than just thinking about it! https://github.com/gdm85/lc/pull/1/files https://github.com/gdm85/lc/pull/1/files But, yes, that is the manual page I converted from (actually I grabbed it from the tarballs linked in the README - should be the same thing). My entire experience of troff would fit on the inside of a Rizla packet with some space to spare, but looking at the original I think it was using some special macro package that doesn't exist on modern systems. So I re-wrote it to use `-man` macros as best I could, but also included the original man page source for anyone that thinks they can do a better job in future.
