Stephen,

the Redbook "Open Source Software for z/OS and OS/390 UNIX"[1] describes the 
port of groff. In the groff chapter it states:

The groff tool is useful because there are no analogous troff or nroff commands 
shipped with OS/390 UNIX. The OS/390 built-in man command understands only 
plain text. If you want to port any packages from other UNIX systems to OS/390, 
you must find a preformatted version of the man pages because most man pages 
are shipped as troff/nroff source.


So you have to either install the ported groff or format the man page on an 
other system or live without the man page :-).

Ralf
