Thanks, I downloaded it and "almost" have it working. :)

I'm getting an error message when I run man.exe.
Below is a DIR of the man pages I want to see plus
the error messages I get ("couldn't stat file" and
"no manual entry"). (What is "stat file"?)

My *guess* is that I need some more parameters on the
command line -- any suggestions? There isn't any
documentation with man11 to show how to use it, and
"man -?" doesn't show any way to specify a file name
(unless I'm too dense to figure it out):

Here's the man files I want to display:

[H:\os2skye.src\Normalize.src\Normalize-073.src\normalize-0.7.3.2\normalize-0.7.3\man\man1] dir
Directory of H:\os2skye.src\Normalize.src\Normalize-073.src\normalize-0.7.3.2\normalize-0.7.3\man\man1

4-13-02 2:42p 1975 0 normalize-mp3.1
4-13-02 2:42p 8071 0 normalize.1
4 file(s) 10046 bytes used
946952704 bytes free

Here are the error messages I get:

[H:\os2skye.src\Normalize.src\Normalize-073.src\normalize-0.7.3.2\normalize-0.7.3\man\man1] man
Warning: couldn't stat file !
What manual page do you want?

[H:\os2skye.src\Normalize.src\Normalize-073.src\normalize-0.7.3.2\normalize-0.7.3\man\man1] man normalize.1
Warning: couldn't stat file !
No manual entry for normalize.1

Here's the help screen:

[G:\] man -?
man, version 1.1
usage: man [-adfhktw] [section] [-M path] [-N nroff] [-P pager] [-S list]
[-p string] name ...
a : find all matching entries
d : print gobs of debugging information
f : same as whatis(1)
h : print this help message
k : same as apropos(1)
t : use troff to format pages for printing
w : print location of man page(s) that would be displayed
M path : set search path for manual pages to `path'
N nroff : set nroff command (groff -Tascii -man)
P pager : use program `pager' to display pages
S list : colon separated section list
p string : string tells which preprocessors to run
e - [n]eqn(1) p - pic(1) t - tbl(1)
g - grap(1) r - refer(1) v - vgrind(1)

Here's what I installed (this directory is on my path):

[H:\os2skye.exe] dir man*
