 Convenient but I think HTML does a better job, and if one doesn't want
 to spawn a full-blown graphical browser there is lynx. The HTML version
 has the advantage of the links and that it can present the info in
 a better way. Additionally, writing TROFF pages is a time-consuming
 task :( [unless one uses a converter but I have better use for my
 precious disk space] and has very little add on value. IMHO it is better
 if the effort is concentrated on completing/updating the current docs
 rather than adding another administrative nightmare :)
