        Dear Sirs,

I downloaded procmail 3.10 from ftp.celestial.com, where are precompiled
versions of many software packages for SCO Unix as I have.
Currently I have SCO ODT 3.0 with development environment.
Installation of this software, it was no problem, but the enclosed man
pages for procmail, formail, lockfile, procmailex, procmailrc ...were
formated and I don't know what formater was used.
I tried to "deformat" man pages by "awf -man" utility but with some 
"error" or "not supported" response messages. 
Because of this I am not able to create correct documentation. 
Can you advice me how to obtain full documentation in readable form.

What and where is my main problem.

I have to say that I was not able to use formail or procmail for my
intention.
I want to use this package for autoreplying if someone is not in office or
is on holliday ...or for sorting of arrived messages by predefined criteria.
Can you give me advice how can I do this. Each info about this would be
useful for me. I need more detailed info how to do it because I don't know
to use allowed procmail or formail command switches for achieving of my
goal and if /etc/procmailrc or $HOME/.procmailrc is needed for this.
If you have documentation on your ftp site in postscript format for example
please give me the name of this site.

Sorry but I think that documentation is writen for technical specialist and
not so easy for normal user.

Thank you in advance and I am looking forward to hear you soon.
