Rodrigo,
Thank you. Your mod to /bin/nroff provided as an attachment at
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-03/msg00299.html worked
perfectly. That is, an xman page now appears with the expected enhanced
view rather than the escape codes.
As a separate issue, I have noticed that any attempt to view a second xman
page is defeated (at least in XP Pro) with an error message as follows:
Xman Warning:
Something went wrong trying to run the command:
cd /usr/man ; tbl /usr/man/man1/{requested page} | neqn | nroff -man
..{rest of msg off screen}
and
cannot create /tmp/xman002688: permission denied
whose solution may reside in something to do with permissions rather than
Xman ...
Fergus
