Because somebody at AT&T didn't do their job, which is the same reason
why I wrote the "queuedefs" man page.

Next question: why doesn't the S5R3 machine-readable documentation come
with anything on the S5 accounting software? The reason I've heard is
that it's because they don't ship that software in binary forms for
3B2s.... 

Why does "UNIX documentation" (not, it's not just AT&T, Berkeley has
been guilty of the same thing, and so have other vendors) so often seem
to be a contradiction in terms?
