Subject: man working with groff-can't get it right
Date: Sat, 9 Jan 1993 13:51:09 GMT

hi,

I installed groff 1.05 today in hope of reading the manuals in a readable
form instead of just a bunch of unreadable formatting commands etc.
However, instead of being able to do man groff and get the readable
form of the formatted document, what I got was what I got when I didn't
have groff installed.

I would appreciate any tippers as to how to get groff working with man...or
rather, man working with groff. The compilation of groff went fine,
and I do not know what version of man I am using...

If anybody has any idea what I am doing wrong, I would really appreciate it..
Thanks very much...

Jae

configuration: linux0.99, 8 megs, etc...:)
