Question: I'm looking for the windows executable for the linux man (manual reader).

I tried googling around, but got frustrated with the kind of results it came up with, owing to 'man' being such a common phrase.

I got results that read "man executed in texas..". 

So I look to the SO community now. Any clues?

Here's my need: I have Portable Git on windows. It has a bash windows binary. But when it tries to show me help for some commands, the poor thing complains that "there is no manual reader". So if I get a man binary, I'll place it in the bin/ directory and all will be hunky-dory.

Answer: 
**If** you already have a man executable installed on your Windows (it happens I did, not sure where I installed it from), you can find its location with :

```
C:\> where man

```

`where` finds the location of the executables you have on your Windows.

In DOS, you can type HELP
