Groff is the standard in Roff. Groff depends on c++ and is far to big for embedded systems. In fact its=20 bigger than the complete man pages for the OS. (~10MB). That's why I initially posted my question and Lyndon made the OpenSolaris=20 suggestion. I'd like to have a simple possibility to view unformated man=20 pages with reasonable sized tools. Preformatting man pages is not an=20 option for me since packages install unformatted man pages and I don't=20 know a suitable way to change that. =2DHarry=20 > Even people writing books on systems with a native Troff install Groff > to get a more powerful and easier to use Roff. --nextPart2627598.EnFgRolohD Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCsyTcBylq0S4AzzwRAig8AKCRS1Z9iYRwesL7rk8qqAzF762tugCgkJnJ xQ+n2XNNmZ8UNUHud8I1WXk= =u+ka -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2627598.EnFgRolohD--
