Sorry for not answering earlier.  I'm actually very short in time.

Some days ago, there was a long discussion on reading man pages in a
web browser.  That actually exists, just use
  `groffer --html <man-name>`

That will find all man pages similar to man(1) , transform the found
source file into html and display it in a web browser.

###

There also were several mails about `groffer.1'.  `groffer' is part of
`groff'.  So it is free software under the copyright of the FSF.  Its
source is not mine, but can be changed by everyone.

My experience is that Werner has some kind of wisdom.  So I would trust
him to modify the man page in a reasonable way.  I hope that the long
`groff' names are kept.

But not changing `groffer.1' could be more interesting, a kind of sport
to make `doclifter' perfect.  So far, several former problems of `doclifter'
could be fixed and removed from the secure list.  Perhaps the remaining
troubles could be fixed as well by the time.  Laziness should not prevent
this.

Good luck

Bernd Warken
