What program do I use to read a "man" (manual?) file?

Here are the first few lines from one contained in a zip file I just
downloaded from Hobbes:

.TH NORMALIZE-MP3 "1" "September 2001"
.SH NAME
normalize-mp3 - adjust levels of mp3 or ogg files by running
normalize(1), then re-encoding
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fB normalize-mp3
[\fIOPTION\fR]... [\fIFILE\fR]...

etc.

I've seen the term "man pages" referred to from time to time on the
Linux lists so I presume it's some sort of Unix format.
