Hmm, if you consider that, making the plain `man' command work should
be doable as well, since you still need all the backend tools (nroff,
tbl, plus a decent `more' -- the DOS-style one is a bit stupid) as
well.  In particular nroff will be somewhat complex since it needs
auxiliary files (macro packages, font metrics), so you gotta tell it
where to find them.

OTOH, if you've got troff (or groff in that case) completely up &
running, it has the ability to provide nicely looking postscript
output.  Together with ghostscript, it should be possible to display
that in a Tk window. :-)

If you encounter trouble, feel free, although I don't use it myself
right now.
