I don't know about the specific version that comes with Caldera, but I 
have a perl script that does the same thing by the same name. Doesn't do 
a great job, but good enough for me. Attached below is the general 
documentation in the beggining of the script, I put the howle thing for 
you under ftp://ftp.huji.ac.il/users/reln/man2html

Which reminds me - ftp.huji's slackware mirror had some problems with 
Slackware 3.1, so we deleted everything and mirroring will start from 
scratch tonight. Hope that this'll solve the problems with the old mirror.

Ariel

# This program allows you view man pages through a World Wide Web
# server like NCSA's httpd..  It works either as a CGI gateway or
# using NCSA httpd's older htbin (OldScriptAlias) interface.
# This program uses the <isindex> tag to get user input (and not forms)
#
# Features:
# - Supports use of RosettaMan for formatting Man pages on SunOS 4.1,
#   Solaris 2, and HP/UX 9.0
# - Will format man pages without RosettaMan on SunOS 4.1, and Solaris 2
# - Security conscious - checks pathnames against list of pathname prefices
#   and list of regular expressions to allow access.  Catches '..'
# - Supports compressed man pages including gzip'd (via gnu's zcat if avail)
