The documentation is available in Unix man format.
You have to download cdk-man.tar.gz or usertools-man.tar.gz from the
Cygnus site.
You then need the man, ncurses, less and groff packages.
You can download them all from
ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Hirmke_Michael/

You have to use binary mounts for them to use.

There is a tool called "recode", which you can download from the above
mentioned ftp site, too.
