incidently, i've been reading this post that gives some clues to the issue

Has anyone tried to run um using Windows recently?

The elimination of the pandoc dependency may mean that, intuitively, this should "just work".

@iajrz Definitely using um to maintain text files should work. Can you install man on windows though?

Last time I installed Cygwin (a decade ago, give or take) it included man.

Yet I think interest in using um in a Windows environment is rather limited to non-existent, though. Given no follow-ups and, most crucially, no testing volunteers - I'd probably close this issue.

Windows 10 users can use Linuxbrew in WSL. Given the givens, that might be a good official answer.

Absent a choco package, that seems to be the best option ^
