Bug#426581: meshlab - anyone still working on this
Hi,
for the man pages i have just committed two files named meshlab.1 and
meshlabserver.1 under the docs directory of the new SVN repository of
meshlab.
I have no experience in the formatting language of man so, please
someone should check that....
In the next days I would like to try incorporate the patches of Teemu
as much as possible inside the main trunk .
Cheers
P.
