Your mod to /bin/nroff provided as an attachment at http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-03/msg00299.html worked perfectly. That is, an xman page now appears with the expected enhanced view rather than the escape codes. As a separate issue, I have noticed that any attempt to view a second xman page is defeated (at least in XP Pro) with an error message as follows: Xman Warning: Something went wrong trying to run the command: cd /usr/man ; tbl /usr/man/man1/{requested page} | neqn | nroff -man ..{rest of msg off screen} and cannot create /tmp/xman002688: permission denied whose solution may reside in something to do with permissions rather than Xman ... Fergus
