I am busy translating the docs from nroff into LaTeX. Actually tr2tex
has done this but I must still hack up all the tables and stuff and make
it a bit nicer :-)-O

Beeing busy in the hospital I don't work on it every day (or week) for

am working on it so he will also prod me once in  a while.

ecu looks VERY complete!

ps: please if someone ports it, notify the author!
