:Yup. The file is in *roff format. Try this:
:
: cat window.1 | nroff -man | more
While it is indeed in nroff format, it's not in the old
man macro style, but the new mandoc macro style. So
what you have there won't help you.
BTW, whenever you're catting just one file into something,
you're probably starting up one process too many.
