Hi,
I updated by cygwin and now man doesn't seem to work.
I tried man -d ld and then typed the display commands by hand, removing the "2>/dev/null"
It appears the problem is this:

$  /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc
groff: can't find `DESC' file
groff:fatal error: invalid device `ascii'

based on man debug output:

will try to write /var/cache/man/cat1/ls.1.bz2 if needed
status from is_newer() = -2
using default preprocessor sequence
found tbl(1) directive
man:
not executing command:
(cd "/usr/share/man" && (echo ".pl 1100i"; /usr/bin/gunzip -c '/usr/share/man/ man1/ls.1.gz'; echo ".\\\""; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/tbl | /usr/bin/nro
ff -c -mandoc 2>/dev/null | /usr/bin/less -isrR)


All I was able to find on google was some stuff going back to 1999 and I didn't
immediately find a configuration or other file for nroff.  What should I do?

Thanks.
