Note that must be the man page source file (probably a file that ends in a number e.g. tcpdump.8). The PostScript versions of the man pages look very nice. They can be printed or viewed on-screen with a program like gv (GhostView). GhostView can be found in our packages collection. Use the following nroff(1) command options for getting a PostScript version from an OpenBSD system man page: # nroff -Tps -mandoc > outfile.
