I took the `mpage -dp' approach and so was able to reduce the size so it nearly was a card again. A big one, but what does one expect of a ZSH reference card ? :) > Calling it a `card' is probably a breach of the Trades Desriptions Act. > It's six pages as it is and it's not going to get any shorter. But consider your marvelous user guide and it's _hundreds_ of pages when it will be finished. THATS the difference. When I consider that and the big, big manual pages which have 20878 lines I guess there is no other chance for an overview. Okay they have lots of "\n" inside. `man zshall | col -b | tr -s "\n" | wc -l' gets me : 14576 (Is there anybody that loves to do tr -s "\n" in this case? :) ) So i guess it remains to be _necessary_ even if it is no guide.
