ah yes, never occured to me tht there might be a man port as well. thank
you for this solution. regarding "satisfactory": for my personal use, yes
it is. generally, I'd say no, since it seems osx's man does something
wrong/non-canonical, no?


Probably means Apple ships older groff and newer programs' manpages expect
a newer groff. I've seen a fair number of groff warnings to that extent.

well, groff_char is a manpage from the groff project itself and I would be surprised if it has changed much (and in a backward incompatible way!) in recent years (but did not check/verify this). actually it seems the problem is with the `tbl' precprocessor (that's the one throwing the errors). maybe I will try to ask at the groff mailing list what's going on here.
