Speaking of which, does anyone know the status of troff and man-pages
for 4.4BSD ?  There was talk (from Kirk McKusick, I think) 11 months
ago at the DC Usenix BOF that they were trying to figure out how to
handle the man pages when the non-AT&T 4.4 is finally released.
As I recall, they were trying to get AT&T to release CAT troff to
the public domain, or else they were going to reformat all the man
pages in TeX and use TeX for the man pages.
