Check the man page for man. Some variations of man (specifically the gnu version,
I believe) include an option to remove formatting, obviating the necessity for piping
through col -b.
==================BEGIN FORWARDED MESSAGE==================
On most Unix systems:
man <subject> | col -b >/tmp/manpage
will create a nice editor friendly file that can be perused within your
favorite editor app.
There is no "col" command packaged with CYGWIN - is there a readily
available alternative that comes with the package?
