In the 2.2 man page set, yes, in the 2.3 man page set they were
distributed as [nt]roff -man source (at least mine were :-).  With
psroff 2.0 (out soon in comp.sources.unix) you can make very nice output
with them on your laser printer using the grotty C/A/T troff supplied
by SCO.  I wish they'd ship a bugfixed version of troff though.  SCO's
ancient one barfs on the Berzerkeley -me macro package :-(
