Some points:

ManOpen  will open  manual  pages  written  in troff  (nroff)
syntax  and  is especially useful when browsing through source
directories. ManOpen includes a cat2rtf converter which may also
be used standalone. (Invoke with option -h to get  help) cat2rtf
was tested  with output  of  both nroff  as provided  with NS3.0
and with gnroff (which  generates nicer output). Formatting is
somewhat nicer than that seen in Librarian.

cat2rtf is implemented using a flex scanner description (cat2rtf.l).
It should work  with lex too.  Anyway, flex output  cat2rtf.c.flex
is included  with the ManOpen package.

ManOpen  registers the extension .man only.  Other useful extensions
(like .1) are  used for other  purposes too often  (version numbers
like  TeXmenu4.1 for example   ;-)  ).  Nevertheless  any  file
selected  in  the  WorkSpace  may conveniently   be  opened  using
Service  ``Open  in  ManOpen''.  Please  use Preferences.app to
select a shortcut for this Service.

Hope it will be of use for you - Harald Schlangmann.
