You know, sometimes when I'm at home on my Mac I just hit CAPS LOCK over and over, just to see the little green light go on and off inside the key. It's pretty magical. It's not quite the same on a PC because the little light is all the way over on the other side on a PC keyboard.
Some people call this procrastination. I call this enjoying the finer things in life.
After bashing my head against my desk for at least an hour trying to print a UNIX "man" format manual page on a Windows printer, I finally found the solution. I am writing it here so, in 6 months when I go to do this again, I can remember how to do it! Also it seems like "convert man pages to plain text" finds only a painful few references on Google, even though you'd think this would be a common enough thing to want to do. Anyhow here's what you do:
Incidentally, I finally found my solution (in a roundabout way) here, but that information was Linux-specific, and rather indirect. I've tested the above command on SecureOS and Sun Solaris, and I would imagine it would work on Mac OS as well. If you're on a Mac though you can probably just print the page directly.
