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
