No. Only the CMD/4NT console window.

Just that it doesn't use getopt(). E.g. without a $MANPATH:
c:\> man -d - -M. tcpdump > file
man version 1.3: debugging output ON
Have to use "-M .", and it doesn't handle "-h" or "--help".

And how if possible, do I make the groff output saved to
e.g. g:\MingW\man\cat1, so man doesn't need to call groff
the next time I do "man tcpdump"? Or is there some other tool
that recurses my man?\files in MANPATH and creates the
cat?\files.
