Hi Gilbert,

You're right - there is no "man" command in CDK and the manpages package.
However:
------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------
 *man-1.4j*
 --------
 - what is it?
 - Program for displaying man-pages on the screen or sending them
 to a printer (using groff).
 - system
 - Windows NT4 German / SP3
 - preliminaries
 - none
 - configure
 - edit configure
 - change "prefix=/usr" to "prefix=/usr/local"
 (or whatever you want or just leave it as it is)
 - run "configure -d"
 - make
 - edit src/man.c
 - add "#include <getopt.h>"
 - comment out line 1020 (setlocale)
 - edit src/Makefile.in
 - add "-DNONLS" to "DEFS="
 - edit src/util.c
 - comment out line 93 and 94 (setreuid, setregid)
 - run "make" as normal
 - make install
 - works without changes
 - edit /usr/local/lib/man.config according to your system
 - notes
 - couldn't get man-1.5a to run properly, you can build it nearly
 the same way as 1.4j, but it will crash, whenever you run the
 resulting binary
 - package availability
 - on ftp.franken.de
 - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Hirmke_Michael
 - as man-1.4j-win32-bin.tar.gz
 - or man-1.4j-win32-bin.zip

If it should be of any use, you also need:
------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------
 *groff-1.10*
 ----------
 - what is it?
 - The groff package provides compatible versions of troff, nroff,
 eqn, tbl, and other Unix text-formatting utilities.
 Groff is used to "compile" man-pages stored in groff/nroff
 format for different output devices; e.g., for displaying to a
 screen or in PostScript(tm) format for printing on a
 PostScript(tm) printer.
 - system
 - Windows NT4 German / SP3
 - preliminaries
 - /bin/sh has to be *bash, not ash*
 - umount /bin (if mounted)
 - cp <cygnus>/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe
 - configure
 - works without changes
 - make
 - edit ./Makefile
 - turn off optimization (-O in CFLAGS and CCFLAGS);
 with optimization turned on, you may run into trouble with
 random crashes - for example with large man pages
 (due to a hint from Andy Piper)
 - edit ./tmac/Makefile.sub
 - create a new first line "SHELL=/usr/bin/ash"
 (or whatever your "ash" is); this is necessay, because
 "bash" can't handle a "for" loop with an empty list in
 this Makefile
 - run "make" as normal
 - make install
 - works without changes
 - notes
 - it is a bit crazy, but you really need both shells to build
 this package - of course you could also change the Makefiles,oe
 so they all work with one shell
 - package availability
 - on ftp.franken.de
 - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Hirmke_Michael
 - as groff-1.10-win32-bin.tar.gz

------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------
and:
------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------
 *less-321*
 --------
 - what is it?
 - Less is a pager program similar to more (1), but allows backward
 as well as forward movement within a file. Also, less does not
 have to read the entire input file before starting. It is also
 possible to start an editor at any time from this program.
 - system
 - Windows NT4 German / SP3
 - preliminaries
 - you first have to install *ncurses-4.1*
 - replace all "iprintf" in "output.c" with a different,
 but unique name, for example "less_iprintf"
 - configure
 - works without changes
 - make
 - works without changes
 - make install
 - works without changes
 - notes
 - works the same way for less-332
 (according to noer@cygnus.com (Geoffrey Noer))
 - package availability
 - on ftp.franken.de
 - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Hirmke_Michael
 - as less-321-win32-bin.tar.gz
 - or less-321-win32-bin.zip
