      Beginning with J2SDK 1.4.0, the Solaris SDK will have SGML-formatted man pages
      rather than troff man pages as in previous releases. The new SGML man pages
      live in the workspace at src/solaris/doc/sun/man/sman1/. The SGML files in
      this directory should be packaged and released with 1.4.0 rather than the old
      troff man pages, which are in the workspace at src/solaris/doc/sun/man/.

      The SGML man pages should be installed in a directory named
      .../man/sman1. This is unlike previous troff man pages which were installed
      in a directory named .../man/man1. The relevant section from the man(1)
      man pages governing installation directories is the following.

        Location of Manual Pages
           The online Reference Manual page directories are convention-
           ally located in /usr/share/man. The nroff sources are
           located in the /usr/share/man/man* directories. The
            SGML sources are located in the /usr/share/man/sman* direc-
           tories. Each directory corresponds to a section of the
           manual. Since these directories are optionally installed,
           they may not reside on your host; you may have to mount
           /usr/share/man from a host on which they do reside.
