Yeah, we have it on our Suns, but that's because we have Adobe's
Transcript running on our machines; the AUTHOR field of the man page
says "Adobe Systems Incorporated", and the SEE ALSO field lists
"transcript(1)", so I assume it's part of Transcript (or TRANSCRIPT, as
the man page says, or TranScript, as per PostScript - the man page also
says "POSTSCRIPT", but the Red, Blue, and Green Books all say
"PostScript"; I say tomato, you say tomahto...).
