Interactive has on-line manuals as well - but they use a non-standard format
for them (at least none of the other software packages get their man pages
installed correctly).  I've had to manually pipe the man pages for cnews,
smail3, nn, elm and other packages through nroff using "nroff -man < in > out".

Is that the same for SCO?
