No, SCO doesn't come with nroff (!) [arrrrggghhh].

When I tried to buy it, my distributor could only offer me the Xenix
nroff+otroff+Xenix manuals, so I bought that (for the second time...).
But yes, once you install that, the manuals work almost right, just
cp foo.1 /usr/man/man.1/foo.1 ; man foo would work.

[ It was a nuisance to install -- I needed to edit and rename the perms file ]

Unix without nroff ?  Gimme a break please!
