No, `man' looks for the programs with the correct name, it's just the
error message that is slightly garbled. It should have said this:
c:/djgpp/bin/less.exe or groff.exe -man Tascii: No such file or directory(ENOENT)
(The `or' part is because `man' runs a pipe, and when it fails, it
cannot know which part of the pipe triggered an error.)
I will fix the error message for the next release. (I wish people would
tell me about these problems when they see them, though.)
