Would it be possible to include the nroff man pages for nmap, zenmap, ncat, and ndiff with the Window redistributable?
Unfortunately, most Windows users don't have man page readers installed. But almost all of them have web browsers, so we keep HTML versions of all these man pages available online: Nmap: http://nmap.org/book/man.html Zenmap: http://nmap.org/zenmap/man.html Ncat: http://nmap.org/ncat/man.html Ndiff: http://nmap.org/ndiff/man.html The online versions can have links to other documentation, etc. They are also automatically kept up to date.
When it was just nmap, I could always wget the man page from the insecure.org site, but I don't see the zenmap, ncat or ndiff man pages up there yet.
Perhaps we should put them all in http://nmap.org/data/. But for now, they are in the tarballs and also available from SVN. For Windows users who want the nroff man pages, maybe SVN is the best way to get them?
