As a system administrator, I am often writing and installing new
commands/features for the users. This also involves writing online manual
pages  i.e.  nroff files - no problem.

I generally do my development on an HP9000-350 running HP-UX6.21 and then
copy the finished script/program plus man page to several target systems,
which include other HPs, Suns and Apollos.

The problem is that when I type:

      man command    

on the HPs, bold and underline work fine, whereas on the Suns it doesn't.

In fact, when using something like   man ls    on a Sun, whether in
Sunview, NeWS, or OpenWindows has no effect either.

The closest you get to correct display is when not in any windowing system
and then using ls.  This I think does something odd like making words that
should be underlined bold.

Anyway the point being that it doesn't seem to do what nroff says.

  Any ideas ?????
