Hi Gregory,
>A few problems with an upgrade to 2.02,
You didn't tell us anything about your system, neither, what Windows you
are using nor the output from cygcheck, so it is a bit difficult to help
you.

Works at least here on my Windows NT4 SP4 German Server.

Perhaps some problem with your environment?

You can get man from
- on ftp.franken.de
- in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Humblet_Pierre_A/B20
- as man-1.5f-cygwin-b20-bin.tar.gz
But be sure to read the readme in the same directory first!

You can convert them yourself with man2html, which is part of the above
mentioned package.
