how can you come to the point to read the manpage of a command
that doesn't seems to be related to your problem (i was searching
something around the man input so i tried troff, mandoc, man, ...).
Reading from David, i thought col was mentionned in the man manpage.
I just read from a recent source of man.1 and realized my openbsd is
just too old. at the line 352:
.Dl $ man -T ascii -O width=65 pledge | col -b

well ... my idea was to remove noise. not add more.

i have to admit i try to avoid the web for many reasons so i try to
stick to manpages, FAQ, mailing list archives.
for the openbsd one, i use

thanks for helping.
