I do not have 'man.exe' installed via my DJGPP package...
So just where would this be found? Hmmm...?

The idea here is to conveniently view genuine Linux Man-Pages using
a convenient self-contained viewer for quick-reference purposes!

By the way: it NEVER fails to occur,
run INFO.exe from the DJGPP \bin\ path, then after is it apparently
shut down,  and you're just simply sitting at the MS-DOS shell prompt
(win 9x), merely type EXIT, and WHAM-O !! you're back in the default
djgpp \bin\info.exe loaded page!
...I don't have a clue why it's doing that...
