Groff is the standard in Roff. Groff depends on c++ and is far to big for embedded systems. In fact its bigger than the complete man pages for the OS. (~10MB). That's why I initially posted my question and Lyndon made the OpenSolaris suggestion. I'd like to have a simple possibility to view unformated man pages with reasonable sized tools. Preformatting man pages is not an option for me since packages install unformatted man pages and I don't know a suitable way to change that. -Harry > Even people writing books on systems with a native Troff install Groff > to get a more powerful and easier to use Roff.
