So it seems that, at least in the VAX S5R2 ("Version 1") distribution, the
on-line manual was supplied.  It may not have been present in other
distributions (e.g. a 3B2 binary distribution, although it may have been an
add-on package there), but it certainly wasn't completely removed in S5R2.
(Note that to make the non-"catman" form of the pages useful in an S5R2
system, you have to have the Documenter's Workbench or the S5R1 versions of
"nroff" or "troff"; "nroff" and "troff" were not supplied as a standard part
of S5R2.)
