I'm trying to get the man command to work with cygwin
and don't seem to be having much luck. 
I downloaded man, groff,and troff for the cygwin site.
I have the man pages in MANPATH but when I use man it
can't find the man page. 
Any help would be appreciated.

The error i'm getting:
for the comman "man strings"

syntax error: got (, expecting )
Error executing formatting ro display command.
System command (cd /usr/local/man ; (echo -e ".pl
1100i"; cat /usr/local/man/man1/strings.q; echo ".pl
\n(nlu+10") | /usr/local/bin/tbl |
/usr/local/bin/groff -Tlatin1 -mandoc | /bin/less -is)
exited with status 256.
No manusl entry for strings

my MANPATH = /usr/local/man

Thanks,
Carson
