SCO also sold me a 2.2x -> 2.3 TP system upgrade (update T, which
consists of only on-line manual pages) after I purchased the 2.3 OS
upgrade.  Since the development system won't be released, my on-line man
pages are now out of sync with the development system.  At the time I
ordered, a 2.3 development system was to be released.  Now I have to
either screw around with installing parts of both the old and new
versions of on-line manual pages, or install one or the other and have
certain manual pages be wrong.
