A/UX 2.0: "settc" and daiw" Commands

I cannot find two programs: "daiw" (the TROFF output formatter for the
ImageWriter) and "settc" (set type and creator) commands under A/UX 2.0. I
checked a "known good" master of A/UX 2.0, and I got this:

grep -i daiw /FILES
/mac/lib/cmdo/d/daiw Commando dialog source script for the daiw command
/usr/catman/u_man/man1/daiw.1.z formatted manual entry for daiw(1)

This indicates that there is a Commando dialog and a man page, but no
executable daiw command. A "find" on the entire file system produced
similar results.

Likewise, I searched for "settc":

grep -i settc /FILES
/usr/catman/u_man/man1/settc.1.z formatted manual entry for settc(1)

As you can see, there is a man page, but nothing else. Have these commands
been removed from A/UX 2.0? Will they be replaced?

We verified that neither the /usr/bin/daiw command (and its associated fonts
/usr/lib/font/deviw/*) nor the /mac/bin/settc program is present in the
released version of A/UX 2.0.  Manual pages for settc (1) and daiw(1) are
still available though.

The missing "settc" had been reported by others; "settc" has been replaced
by the "setfile" command in the /mac/bin directory in A/UX 2.0. However,
there is no manual page entry for "setfile".  According to A/UX Engineering,
the "setfile" command syntax is the same as MPW:

  setfile [options] file

options include:

  -a attributes   # attributes (lowercase = 0, uppercase = 1)
  -c creator      # file creator
  -d date         # creation date (mm/dd/yy [hh:mm[:ssIIAM|PM]])
  -l h,v          # ICON location (horizontal, vertical)
  -m date         # modification date (mm/dd/yy [hh:mm[:ssIIAM|PM]])
  -t type         # file type

Note: Period (.) represents the current date and time.

The following attributes may be used with the -a option:

   L   Locked
   V   Invisible
   B   Bundle
   S   System
   I   Inited
   D   Desktop
   M   Shared (can run multiple times)
   A   Always switch launch (if possible)
