I may be naive on this subject, but for my Xenix 2.3.2 setup,
getting the man pages for everything was a matter of inserting the
disk labelled "On-Line Manual Pages."
It's rather strange that the SCO people didn't know what you
were talking about. Either (a) they're clueless, (b) what I have here
was only released on a limited basis (granted, the majority of Xenix
systems I've been on have no man pages installed), or (c) I'm just
imagining things!
BTW, I have man pages on the text processing system, as well as
the development system and all the basics, like the "ls" command and
uucp...

I doubt if Hercules has an opinion on this; if they do, it's probably not mine.
