Ive built an Open Source package, containing documentation in manpage format; how do I read it?

• Manpages are a documentation format prevalent on UNIX systems, where a special program called “man” is normally used to read them. • There is currently no “man” program available for MinGW/MSYS, although one is under development; (you may download a Development Snapshot, if you are prepared to compile it yourself; see the release notes for further information). In the meantime, you can use the “groff” program, available in this mingwPORT, to read manpages.
