So, with ``groff -Tlatin1 -man gpc.1'' I can about do it, but now the problem is how to force ``more'' or ``less'' to do *less* messing-up of 8-bit chars.
Any ideas?
On the man page for "less" the author is listed as Mark Nudelman marknu@flash.net. Try emailing the problem to him. It might do some good.
Thanks for the thought, Russ - last night I've got some even more confusing information: when I came home to my Linux (:-) box, I was surprized to see that same version (358) of ``less'' displayed 8-bit characters correctly.
Now, at work on dec-alpha-osf4.0b and sun-sparc-solaris2.7 I used different packager's package than at home (the later is Mandrake). probably it can be either wrong locale or wrong compile-time options (it's ironic that packager is also from area where 8-bit chars are used ;-)
If that fails, I'll follow your advice, and say thanx, Mirsad
