In case of cat pages it does, but like I wrote I want to be able to add 
packages and read their man pages without having to involve any other 
machine. So there's no way arround a lean *roff...

Bit it's on ice for the moment, I'm about XP-ipsec(dynamicIP) <-> FreeBSD 
problems.... (and racoon was the man page I wanted to read on my embedded 
box)

Thanks,
