I'm afraid this is another FAQ from a not-too-competent unix person.

I am trying to get mathematica's man pages up on my 4D/25.
(Wolfram sends un-nroffed man pages even to personal iris users.)
Of course, I didn't buy DWB since my rep never told me it existed.

I have access to a sun where I tried
neqn file.1 | tbl | nroff | col | compress >file.Z
without success.

So, my question is, given access to Suns & DECstations it possible
to produce irix man pages w/o spending $300 on DWB?
