I have converted all the manpages to ascii-text (most of the EMX-Pages
already come in that format) and put them in a directory /man.
A simple script named man.cmd then displays them on demand.
The script goes like that:
    if exists(/man/%1.man) more /man/%1.man

This is a simple solution which doesnt require the TROFF-Port for OS/2.

Hope this helps

P.S.: You can even put all manpages in a ZIP-Archive and extract them
to the screen as needed to save space.
P.P.S.: You should use a file-lister instead of more to browse the
manpage, e.g. 4os2s list-command.
