SCO included the "man" pages as part of the "text processing" (nroff)
package. Cleverly (?) they only provided nroff output, and that for
the lowest common denominator. Subscripts, &c. don't work, so that
you get the occasional silliness (look at the man page for "factor"
and imagine what it would look like if the "46" were in the same font,
same size, same level as the "2").
When I wrote to them last year (12-Oct-88) they expressed no interest
in shipping the nroff/troff source for processing locally.
