Man pages

[Jim Drake]

Perhaps I'm missing something, but in the portable openssh distribution are
what appear to be manpages:

[root at is31] openssh-2.2.0p1 [315] file * | grep roff
scp.1:          [nt]roff, tbl, or eqn input text
scp.1.out:      [nt]roff, tbl, or eqn input text
ssh-add.1:      [nt]roff, tbl, or eqn input text
ssh-add.1.out:  [nt]roff, tbl, or eqn input text  etc.........

These files begin with the following :

.Dd September 25, 1999
.Dt SCP 1
.Os
.Sh NAME

There are only minor differences between the '.1' and '.1.out' files.

I can display these on redhat linux 6 because there is an appropriate macro
to prepend to the file.  I can find no such macro on Solaris 2.6.  I can find
no preformatted manpages in the portable openssh distribution - only the ones
above which I can not use!  Any help appreciated.
