get a PD man to print them out; I'm curious about the codes.  Is this
some kind of standard format code?

I have a pretty sophisticated man program you can, but it won't do you
much good without nroff.  For that, you could get 'awf', the Amazingly
Workable Formatter, which is Henry Spencer's awk (!!!) rewrite of "nroff
-man" (and a bit of "nroff -ms").

To get the man program, you can anon ftp from tut.cis.ohio-state.edu
in pub/perl/scripts/tchrist/man/*, or mail me.  To get the awf program,
it came to comp.sources.unix as:
