Let us also add to that that they **also** post the "nroff" source, so that
anybody can make ravisions and adapt the program to their system,
and modify the manual to reflect the situation.
    I think it would be horrible if someone posted a program which uses
the file "/etc/xxx", and on a given system it must use "/etc/yyy", and the
manual pages STILL CLAIM it is in xxx!!!!!
