After struggling around man nroff etc , I saw that passing in /etc/man.conf from 
  NROFF         /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc
to
  NROFF         /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc -Tascii
made emacs doing manpages in apparent ascii encoding, :-)

Unfortunately however , from the shell, with 

  $ man bash > bash.tmp

I get pages wich now are in ascii (no funny utf8 stuff) , but still a plenty of ctrl chars
to control a terminal; how could I fix this and get only-printable ascii encoding 
from the shell  ?
