To convert Unix Man pages
to text format, you can make
use of one feature of 'man'
itself. (check out man man)
Set environment variable
PAGER to 'cat'. Then run:
'man command_name > command_name.txt'
eg. in csh, to see man ls in a text file
setenv PAGER cat
man ls > ls.txt
NOTE: Do not forget to
unsetenv PAGER, else you will
have to pipe every man command
to 'more' or (my favourite) 'less'.
