Formatting man pages - txt file
Hello, I'd like to get a man page in .txt format. What I tried was man man man.txt, but this gives me the man pages with many control char. How can I get a man page to be formatted to a regular .txt file?

What I like is man -t man man.ps to create a Postscript file.
