Thanks, that's interesting. Line 375 onwards,
https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/man/blob/man-46/man/man.sh#L375
shows how they #ifdef'd __APPLE__ to stop the simple ‘install groff’
message. That message matches Oliver's description of FreeBSD.
Instead, they echo a warning to stderr and then sleep for a second to
let it be seen. How annoying that delay must be each time one opens the
same man page. And from a company that prides themselves on UI. :-)

Cheers, Ralph.
