Francis It seems to work quite well with several man pages that came with gnuwin32/b18. I've spliced in the C-h keymap as (global-set-key [(control h) ?u] 'woman) Up to now, I had no tool to read these man pages. This seems odd though, cygnus provides all these pages but no means to read them. I guess somebody will point me to the man page viewer I didn't know of. Anyhow, I'm glad to be able to read these pages now. I must confess that I do not know enough of the input format to be able to define whether we're dealing with "... idiosyncratic files that `break the rules' or use ?roff requests directly... " rather than a problem with woman.el g-; - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
