Hi all
I'm a complete stranger to djgpp (actually I'm not sure what it is at all).
But I need to be able to read unformatted unix man pages in a windows
environment and the only thing I've found is djgpp's man. But I can't get it
to work! I know it may seem like a silly question in this group but do I
need to install djgpp?
I downloaded the man13b, lss340b and gro110b from simtel, put everything in
the path, set MANPATH to the directory holding the man pages, and all I get
is the following error message:
----
Reformatting page.  Wait...d:/man/groff.exe: can't find `DESC' file
d:/man/groff.exe:fatal error: invalid device `ascii'
----
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Lars
