- man pages are certainly NOT included with DWB on the 3B2. Stock SVR3.X
- comes with "Help Utilities" which includes an awful command called
- "usage". I suppose this was AT&T's answer to man. If you want the
- man pages (troff sources), you'll have to purchase the source code,
- I believe. At least that's why we have them.
