I thought this would be of interest. I have been using a DUAL, and the
man output is clean for a CRT, so something is certainly different from
the SYSTEM III and BRL (JHU) implementations here. Looks like the diff
may boil down to using either
man <file> | col | ul
or
man <file> | clman
Anyway, I'll probably go on using man <file> | clman except on
the DUAL, where just man <file> is fine.

Uh, the construction
man <command> | col | ul
Will do what CLMAN does, and probably better, since the two were
designed for that purpose (nroff postprocessing).

P.S. Berkeley's man command already does the call to `col | ul' by itself.
