I use cawf to format man pages and DOS port of less to browse them.
Works fine.  You can even store only unformatted sources of the man
pages and have cawf pipe its output to less, if you like (but I don't
use it that way).  DOS port of less may be found on SimTel as mentioned
above in the same textutil/ directory, file less177e.zip.
