Since we > always use the correct case in the synopsis, The new grep manpage only has `grep' in the SYNOPSIS section. Only in the NAME section does it spell them correctly. BUT the problem came in when I did ``man grep'', searched for "-a" to see what it now meant, and started reading the manpage at that point. With all the gratiuitous changes many of the GNU programs have started doing, I thought, oh shit, *now* they want everybody to name it `Zgrep' rather than `zgrep'. I could have gone w/o the rise. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) P.S. The GCC people are now trying to shove /usr/lib/gcc-lib/TARGET/VERSION/{specs,cc1,include} down my throat. (yes that's /usr/lib you see -- they want us to do this for the native compiler) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
