ditroff? man pages



I'd like to use man on some debian machines to view the man pages for
some HP-UX software. Unfortunately the debian man doesn't seem to
support this man page format by default. Even if man won't support these
files directly, I'd be happy to just have the commands to read them. I
tried "cat fmt2/compile.2 | grodvi" without success. Any suggestions
would be appreciated. The software has a man directory structure as
follows:

  man\
    fmt1\
    fmt2\
    fmt3\

freefall$ file fmt2/compile.2
compile.2: ditroff text

freefall$ head -30 fmt2/compile.2
