Ok why not for a script..
But I'm not sure how to mimic man for all manpages. Some are from different formats I guess. Most of them look nice with the following but some don't..
wget
http://debfarm.free.fr/images/groff_...1-13_armel.deb
wget
http://debfarm.free.fr/images/groff-...1-13_armel.deb
dpkg -i groff*
then let's say you got a compressed manpage from your linux box (usually in /usr/share/man)
scp
linux_user@linux_machine:/usr/share/man/man2/kill.2.gz
.
and then
zcat kill.2.gz | nroff -man | less -r
Works as expected with bold formatting and stuff
Let's call it rman (rudimentary man)
Humm well it's a start
edit:
My packages are not yet signed, I'll create a clean repository later. Meanwhile please check the md5 using md5sum:
