You are using the current version. The options have been removed
because I tried to align the scotty binary with tclsh. You can easily
emulate the -c option with something like

	echo "puts hello" | scotty

if you want to use scotty in shell scripts. And you have the source so
you can write your own binary. Regarding the man page: It has been
split into multiple pages, each one describing one command of the Tnm
Tcl extension.
