Try this: $ zcat /usr/man/man1/bash.1.gz | nroff -man | col -b or, if the man page is not compressed: $ nroff -man /usr/man/man1/bash.1 | col -b Of course, replace /usr/man/man1/bash.1.gz for whatever man page you want to print.;-) Regards > Thank you. > > Marc Mongeon > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < > /dev/null > ---------------------------------- E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 28-Apr-99 Time: 20:50:50 This message was sent by XFMail ----------------------------------
