Question Printing SGML man Pages
This may seem like a simple question, but hey, I'm new at this stuff. Man pages on solaris 7 are in SGML format. I am sure there is a plethora of utilities out there that will help me print them. Any suggestions.

Oh, any help on getting the man pages to print pretty would be cool too. I'm sick of looking at text files with no distinction between headings, flags, and content.

Thanks a whole bunch.

Sun has all the man pages at http://docs.sun.com

I find that they're much easier on the eyes.
