I would like to download a set of manual pages for solaris based operating
systems in roff format. I am after the pages for both deprecated and current
commands. The ones that I find on the internet are all in html format.

I am hoping that there is a tarball with all the pages in somewhere.

Mark.

Just load the OS, it comes with the OS, "man man" for help.

find / -name man -print

Will list all the places you can find them.

The man pages are on the system in the various man directories scattered
about the filesystem(s).

You can also get them for Solaris 2.4 to Solaris 10, hardware, system admin,
etc etc individually as PDF and/or as zipped collections of PDF files here:
