Sounds like a nice feature for 4.7. Feel free to file a feature request @ mc.o BTW, in the last year there have been exactly eight commits to the mc sources in the CVS repository. Is this correct? Or has mc be moved to a different place? Perhaps it's time to really release 4.6.2...

Is there any reason why you don't pipe man pages through tbl? To be more precise, why don't you use the `man' program which normally can handle this automatically (this is, recognizing the necessary preprocessors based on the first line of the man page)? If you don't like `man', I suggest that

Dear friends, the correct abbreviation for kilobyte is `kB', not `Kb'! As a consequence, in the panels you should show e.g. `12345k' instead of `12345K'. Another formatting bug: I see e.g. `1,234,567Kb bytes in 8 files' which should be `1,234,567k bytes in 8 files'. What about introducing

Is there a way of getting the viewer to display the raw escape-codes in a file, like less -R? No. It would create mess on the screen. It's explained in man less. Mess on the screen is bad in a program that can easily delete whole directories. Hmm, recent groff versions emit SGR
