The 'man' command isn't really a problem (i've found one somewhere), but
you need *roff. I tryed to build groff package under gnu-win32 b17.1, but
it
seems to need lot of hacking. ( anybody managed ?)
The 'vi' like editor 'elvis' can read man, and i found 'elvis-2.0' for
win32. Unfortunately
it isn't buil on cygnus-win32 distrib, so it can't handle unixlike
pathnames !!!
I tryed to port it with the tiny termcap embeded, and with gnu libtermcap.
It compile quite
easily in both case, and it runs, but input seems to be 'frozen' (in fact
keystrokes seems
to be bufferised). Anybody has an idea ??
