Is there a version of SunOS's "man" command anywhere > for OS/2????? Sure would be nice. Why not get the real thing? Kai Uwe Rommel has ported groff to OS/2. Works for me. Try ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in pub/os2/2.0/gnu/. Then do groff -man blob.1 If you don't want the full groff, try cawf (C version of awf). This will not do as well as groff, but it may be good enough (and it runs under OS/2 1.3--2.0 and MSDOS). If I recall correctly, you will need the awk version awf also, as the cawf archive is missing a file. --darrel hankerson hank@ducvax.auburn.edu
