I wasn't sure if I should mix the V4 manuals from
https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Distributions/Research/Dennis_v4/
with the Utah tape as there is no nroff on the Utah tape but
the man pages are written in nroff.

But, yes, I can add some blurb that explains the amalgamation.

So, a related question, does anybody know why nroff was _not_ on the
Utah V4 tape, especially as it was a late snapshot of V4?

Does this also mean that Research kept a "working" version of Unix
with their usernames/passwords/working files etc. and somehow ken
would "cut" a tape with an RK05 image that came from a separate system?
