[LUG] Problem with nroff output

 

Anyone here dealt with issues with the piping of man pages to a file?

I have this
zcat <manpage>|nroff -man >file

If I leave the redirect out it looks fine (ie: no >file), however if I
ppe the outputand then open the file I get mangeled headers eg:

N^HNA^HAA^HAM^HME^HEE

anyone any ideas whats happening here (only happens with Headings)
