I was referring to the long-name extensions, which are *not* in ditroff,
nroff, DWB, or DWB 2.0 as AT&T ships them. I've tried them on programs
built directly from unmodified AT&T source. I've also checked the source
code. They just aren't there.
(What does PWB have to do with it? I think I'm missing context here; I know
PWB as an old UNIX system, one of the two threads of development off V6
UNIX [the other being V7].)
