I recently examined the crontab man page on a NCR Tower 32/600 Release 2.01
(the exact same system as Greg Calkin used) and I read the man page to mean
that the entries would be replaced, I do not see how he got the impression
he did.  NCR's man page states:
	Crontab copies the specified file, or standard input if no
	file is specified, into a directory that holds all user
	crontab files.  A user crontab file specifies .....

If Greg still feels this is misleading he should contact his NCR representative
and discuss the problem.  Perhaps the man page should be clarified.
