Copying Man pages
Copying the man pages to the floppy is no problem , but reading
the files from a windows pc is nearly impossible because hundreds of special characters are included in the output when I try to read the copied man page from Notebook. Is there a way to format the manpage before i copy it to a floppy so that a windows pc can view it properly? The floppies that i am trying to copy to have been formatted using the KDE floppy formatter to a dos filesystem. I don't have access to any windows programs or a perl interpreter on the windows machine that i will be using so i need it formatted correctly before copying. Thanks! |

Pipe the man command to "col -b". Example:
man vi | col -b > manpage.txt |
