As far as I know, 10.4 is only needed to use the Spotlight search (i.e.,
to get to the tool). Of course, that's the ONLY convenient way to
start up the tool at present, but I plan to change that RSN.
In the meanwhile, you can get to the tool by:
* navigating to an ht4m file, via the Finder, and double-clicking it, as:
<system disk>
Library
Documentation
Morinfo
MAN
usr
share
man
man1
chfn.1.ht4m (whew!)
* Using the open(1) command to accomplish the same thing:
open /Library/Documentation/Morinfo/MAN/usr/share/man/man1/chfn.1.ht4m
* Typing a URL into your browser:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/morinfo?link=/MAN/usr/share/man/man1/chfn.1.ht4m
http://localhost/cgi-bin/morinfo?opts=cd%2Cri&SR=chfn.1
None of these is particularly satisfactory, but they all work, more or less.
