printing out manual pages

>From the keyboard of raymond at ursa.berkeley.edu (Raymond Yee):
:How do I print out output from the 'man' program or store 'man' output
:in a file without having all the extraneous control characters?

Well, if you are using my man program (grap w/ anon ftp off convex.com in
/pub/man.shar.Z) then 'man -t topic' will invoke troff for you
appropriately, and 'man -D topic > outfile' will give you an output file
with neither escapes nor other control characters.
