That weird language is something that the man command can deal with. If you look at the other man pages on your system they are the same. zmore /usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz I found this out when I wanted to write a man page for a project of mine, and I thought it might be in a language like HTML. No such luck. It appears it has references to macros or something. (I gave up on writing the man page in man language and used a text editor) Anyway, they way to get round that I found is to put those man pages you mentioned into /usr/share/man/man5 -- /Xian "C lets you shoot yourself in the foot.
