Brendan,
Thanks again! So far I've only converted one page, and I did it with:
man [progname] | col -b > progname.man.txt
And then fixed things up as needed.
Expect to do more, when I do I'll look for more alternatives.
PS: I added your suggestions to a WikiLearn page:

Thanks for this! Where did you find man2txt. It seems to not be
installed on Mandrake 8.1 with the selection I made, and although I

place to download it.

Thanks -- I'm not the original poster that worked well.
Now a followup question:
Is there a similar command to filter out all the multiple spaces? In
other words, I'd like to
