You can get man from - on ftp.franken.de - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Humblet_Pierre_A/B20 - as man-1.5f-cygwin-b20-bin.tar.gz But be sure to read the readme in the same directory first! > >4) I am surprised that the man.1 pages are all in nroff; > but no nroff is a part of the standard distribution. How about .hlp or >.html or .rtf as a more portable and modern format? You can convert them yourself with man2html, which is part of the above mentioned package. > >Thanks, > >Gregory Guthrie Bye.
