I've got a dos program on my disk called man2hlp.exe. It used to be
part of the tknt (the Tk toolkit) package, but no longer it seems.
I've put it up on my web site for a while:

	 http://www.cybercomm.nl/~bittext/temp/man2hlp.exe

It outputs rtf, so you still need a help compiler, and I no longer
remember whether it uses preformatted or source pages (I suspect
preformatted ones. In that case, at least DJGPP has a port of man and
groff to create the formatted pages).

Greetings, taco
