It would make things easier. And this is a low traffic list. But If you
don't want to, I can try to CC you always. Don't blame me if I forget
you in important cases :-)

What I'm really looking for would be a way to extract the man page from 
the web page. I want only oine source of information (and it's hard 
enough to keep this one up to date)

But I'd be happy if you finish the man page. I think we should only 
describe the command-line switsches in the manpage, and not all the 
configuration entries, but link to the web page. This way the manpage 
would be up-to-date most of the time, as commandline options seldom change.

If only the display is the problem... there may be a solution. I've a 
lot of them lying around... Again: any volunteers? :-)

Samuel, please consider yourself as the temporary maintainer. I'm 
looking for a permanent maintainer again.

Committed to CVS, thanks a lot. I tried to apply the corrections from 
Luk, too. I hope i did it right...


btw, Samuel, as the temporary maintainer, I want to give you CVS write 
access. Haveyou got an account on SourceForge?
