FAQ section 5.6 talks about several ways to deal with man pages. It's
slightly outdated (i.e. I think a current groff port does exist) but could
be quite helpful. Also, using cawf, Jude DaShiell today posted a "man.bat"
file which, he says, works well. I'll include it here:

@echo off
cls
set iv=c:\djgpp\bin\cawf
%iv%\cawf -man %1 | less -s
set  iv=

Good luck.
