I get more and more Unix-like software which come with man pages (troff -man). Is there a man page reader for msdos? Thanks Phil

Is there a man page reader for msdos? There's a new version of a very old and fairly primitive nroff clone that (I think) has been uploaded to SIMTEL20 recently, called NRO. However, it comes with a fairly simple -man macro file which works reasonably well with fairly simple man page files. To view one on the screen you should be able to do something like "nro -man <file> | more". There are, though other DOS *roff clones that may be better. _____________________________________________________________________________ | Scott Telford, Dept of Computer Science, scott@cs.hw.ac.uk | | Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. scott%hwcs@ukc.uucp | |_____ "Expect the unexpected."
