There have been requests on this alias for PD alternatives for formatting
nroff documents, especially for manual page viewing.  A program called awf
was posted to comp.sources.unix.  Its creator is Henry Spencer at the
University of Toronto.  It may be suitable for preformatting 3rd party manual
pages so that IRIX man command can display them.
