I wrote a trivial thing called "bzman", which is basically just:
/usr/bin/man =
#!/bin/sh
LESSOPEN="|bzip2 -cdfq %s"; export LESSOPEN
exec less -is "/usr/local/bzman/$1"
Since my pager of choice is "less" when running "man" on my desktop,
I get something that behaves the same (run up a manpage, search for
something). It can't handle entries in multiple sections, though ("man 1
sleep" vs. "man 3 sleep")
I chose bzip compression as it's slightly better than gzip, but perhaps
it wasn't worth the trouble - "disk" space is't really that tight on the
tablet for a few kb of manpages, and one can always use the SD card.
