BTW, it well predates the GNU coreutils; I used it on V7 UNIX.
Interesting. Despite your V7-provenance claim, it doesn't seem to
have persisted into either the FreeBSD boxes or the OpenBSD boxes I
have at hand. Bringing in anything that involves GNU coreutils adds
it to the machine in question, but just kinda odd that those with a
tighter tie to "real" Unix would have dropped it.
It's associated with the troff stuff generally. Maybe that's not installed?
Off to go read `man gptx` now...
Or "man ptx", depends on your system and its install.
