Maybe Adobe can answer why the latest (?) version on Transcript that I
received at my old job (end of March), version 2.1, has a manual that is
notated as Sun Release 3.2 - Last change: 14 July 1987, when we bought
the stuff for the Vax 11/750, 4.3BSD.

The psroff section has no mention of the -L or -M options.  Here at my
new job, the online manual has the same problem, as it is exactly the
same software release.

Explanation would be appreciated.
