NAME
       texdoctk	 -  GUI for easier access of TeX package and pro-
       gram documentations

SYNOPSIS
       texdoctk -[-aq]

DESCRIPTION
       texdoctk is a GUI for easier access of a large part of the
       vast  amount  of	 package  and  program documentations and
       tutorials for TeX  and  its  different  derivates  (mainly
       LaTeX).

       The  documentation is grouped into 17 categories; the 18th
       button of the main panel is inactive by	default.  If  you
       have  special  documents	 which do not fit into any of the
       categories, you	can  append  an	 18th  block  to  texdoc-
       local.dat with the respective entries.

       In  the settings window you see a checkbox in the html->ps
       and text->ps converter menus for switching  on/off  output
       redirect.  This is due to the fact that some converters do
       not write their output  into  a	file  but  to  stdout  by
       default, so a redirect is needed, e.g.

       a2ps myfile.txt >myfile.ps

   OPTIONS
       -q     quiet:  enable  suppression of some viewer messages
	      which are otherwise sent to stderr. This	can  also
	      be set in a configuration file.

       -a     autoview:	 autostart  viewer  if a listbox contains
	      only one	item  (this  will  frequently  happen  in
	      search results). This can also be set in a configu-
	      ration file.

FILES
	($TEXMFMAIN)/texdoctk/texdocrc.defaults system-wide  con-
       figuration file

	~/.texdocrc personal configuration file; can also be cre-
       ated with the Settings menu

	($TEXMFMAIN)/texdoctk/texdoc-local.dat	(optional)  local
       database	 file for documentation files; is used instead of
       the default database file if present

BUGS
       Widget placement in topic toplevels becomes ugly when  the
       toplevel is stretched or shrunk.

       The  font in the frame labels of the Settings menu are not
       forced to the default font; this will become visible  e.g.
       at  hi-res screens, where the label font is not scaled up.

       Netscape and Mozilla  error  output  will  be  written  to
       stderr even if the quiet mode was set.

   VERSION
       The current version of texdoctk is 0.5.2 beta 2 (19 Febru-
       ary, 2002)
