This is "normal", the &*&%&^$^&%'s at AT&T having decided to do things
this way.  I seem to recall hearing that AT&T had gotten enough flak over
this silly policy that they were planning to make the machine-readable
documents available (separately, at extra cost, of course!), but I don't
recall hearing an official announcement of this.  If you're source-licensed,
you could get the older versions from a site with an older version of Unix
(since a SysV source licence is supposed to cover all older Bell versions).
