It's not exactly man(1), but 4DOS comes with reasonably extensive help 
for both itself and MSDOS, built-in to the 'help' command.

You could always 'alias man help' for ease of use.

Of course, there are about a zillion other good reasons to install 4DOS,
but this gets covered often enough in this group.
