The sad fact is that the Sun Man Pages are in raw troff format and not
in the man macro format. As a result, the man pages are harder to read than a 
similar man page that has been cleanly written in man macro format.

BTW: Schillix-ON includes an enhanced man(1) program and a troff macroset that 
allows to use BSD mandoc...
