So I am taking the crude approach and attaching a diff of the .old and my (proposed) update to the SGML. The change was just a few lines. It seems unlikely that I introduced a new, syntactical problem with the SGML, but - again - I wasn't able to verify that with %make lint. > I'm pretty overworked for the next week or two, but if it hasn't been > patchified by someone else by then, I'll come back and take a look. > > Thanks, > > Ben Kaduk Thanks for your reply, and I appreciate you taking the time to review my change.
