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.

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?
