I don't have FreeBSD but I was quite sure it ran on BSD. I also met
it on ULTRIX years ago; and the README.script on Linux mentions being
a version of the "BSD program".

I went to http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html and the man pages, picked
the FreeBSD 4.5-stable option, and asked for man pages on 'script'.
It's definitely in the docs, so I presume it's in BSD :)
