You can use a `man' clone available at this URL:

    ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2misc/man12b.zip

If you want to use it from a command line, you will probably want a
port of GNU Less as well, as the version of MORE that comes with
Windows is ridiculously limited.  Less is available from the same
place in the v2gnu directory.

Btw, Fabrice, for TeX Live 3, I actually put all the auxiliary programs 
like Less, man, Info, and some others into the zip archive together with 
the DJGPP ports of Web2C, precisely for those users who don't have these 
utilities installed for other reasons.  You might consider doing the same 
for the Win32 ports.
