I installed mdbtools from source on github and it put its man pages in 
"/usr/local/share/man/man1", where the default man command doesn't find them 
(although "man -M /usr/local/share/man mdb-export" works).

Thanks in advance,
Dale

P.S. mdbtools works well for accessing data in a MS Jet/Access MDB file. 
There's an old version in the ports tree, but no maintainer (perhaps one day I 
may have learned enough to update the port myself, but alas not yet).
