- Sorry, but I don't speak nroff, just like most others I presume. That's
- why I used and probably will use plain ascii for my extensions. I must
- admit that I'm at the moment really not willing to learn these crpytic
- commands, because I've better things to do...
-
- By the way: How many different `man' tools are there out for the atari?
-
- And how many of them really work?
-
- I think I've seen dozens of them, one didn't find his pager under no
- circumstances, the other one required the complete nroff to be installed,
- the next one was terribly slow and recursively called some hundred other
- programs and most of them didn't understand really all nroff commands.
-
- In other words: I haven't seen any version so far that really made me
- happy... Is there a clue for this?
