        Martin,

        you can try our GRASS ftp site here in Kiel:
        ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-kiel.de/pub/packages/grass\
        grass4.1/documents/manuals/programming/troff/progman.troff.gz

        I don't know what the connection is like from Canada, but I just
        retrieved the file from the moon in 6 minutes (noting that I didn't
        have the troff version of the programming manual here).
