From:      Rick Conn <rconn@brl>

I thought this would be of interest.  I have been using a DUAL, and the
man output is clean for a CRT, so something is certainly different from
the SYSTEM III and BRL (JHU) implementations here.  Looks like the diff
may boil down to using either
	man <file> | col | ul
or
	man <file> | clman

	Anyway, I'll probably go on using man <file> | clman except on
the DUAL, where just man <file> is fine.

Uh, the construction

	man <command> | col | ul

	Will do what CLMAN does, and probably better, since the two were
designed for that purpose (nroff postprocessing).

P.S.	Berkeley's man command already does the call to `col | ul' by itself.
