Sat Dec 10 11:36:07 EST 2005 rsc Not all of my comments about man1-sync0 were addressed. I applied the changes and then made my own fixes. Please diff the current pages against what you submitted to see what I changed. Some comments: - There were still ".BI onearg" lines in the edited lines you submitted. - You don't seem to like the [this | that] syntax, but it's okay (and useful!). It means you can specify one or the other but not both. You dropped it in the acme usage and in the awk usage. - There are no spaces around brackets in the usage strings printed by programs. - The acme(4) page you started with appears to have been out-of-date, since you removed the menu and nomenu ctl messages in the patch. Please make sure you're up to date, and after creating a patch, run patch/diff your-patch and look through the diffs just to double-check that they're what you expected. - There were still multiple instances where you changed the usage message but did not update the text to reflect new names. This happened in both acme(1) and awk(1). If you change the names in the SYNOPSIS, make sure you update the text. - I named the -l option to acid "library" rather than "module". The man page used "library" a lot more than module (used only once). Don't blindly follow what the program prints for a usage message. Often the documentation has better names. The fact that you had to rename a whole subsubsection of the manual was my tip-off that I should just leave the name as it was. - When you document a new option or argument, make sure you get all its effects. It turns out that awk's -safe does more than just disable ENVIRON. Thanks for going through these. I really appreciate it. The above comments are very small things, but all in all I'm very happy to see these getting checked and fixed. Russ
