OK. A SCO/Unix annoyance for you: SCO delivers all their man pages
in HTML format and you don't get a groff/troff/nroff. Also they
have made the Unix Programmer's Manual more 'user-friendly': 
Chapter 1 moved to chapter C, chapter 3 became chapter S, chapter
8 they call ADM, chapter 5 is called F and so on. All in the name
of progress.


Kind regards,
