This appears to produce a Postscript stream. I'm pretty sure that isn't what Gene wanted (but who knows, since the question was apparently "how do I save a man page's text, without markup, into a file" and the answer turned out to be "man foo > file", which should not have required asking a worldwide mailing list for help).
