So you think I should remove NW from my re-worked manpage for 4.x?

I looked and CVS and didn't see them removed from 4.x code.  They
don't work on my system, but I don't know about other architectures.
Or do we assume that the 5.0 code will be MFC'd soon enough that
it doesn't matter that the 4.x manpage is wrong for a while?

I was suprised to see that -N, -W, and -s were removed completely,
so that they are errors and so it will break old scripts.  Aren't
obsolete options usually left in as no-ops, at least for a long
time?
