man is a unix/linux/... command. A little bit of googling shows that on MS Windows:
-------------------------------------
If you are looking to open linux style man pages in Windows, then get
Groff for Windows to view the man pages on your command line as follows:

groff -Tascii -mm your_file | more
-------------------------------------
where your_file is the file name of the ssconvert manual page in your
installation.
