FWIW, I have no quarrel with any of this. I encourage the current maintainers of the manual to follow your advice. I believe we did update the date on each minor update through the time I maintained the manual. /Roland Cc: shebs@cygnus.com, gdb@cygnus.com Date: Wed, 28 Jan 1998 07:48:50 PST From: "Marty Leisner" <leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com> Looking at documentation (in a pile of papers), its very, very useful to have: 1) the date 2) the software version number. Jim Meyering is doing it in his packages...that way, at a glance I can tell "this is the most current one". Also, minor updates deserve a new date. If you diff the texinfo files against 4 years ago, I'm sure you'd see lots and lots of changes (even though the manual is well done). -- marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com The Feynman problem solving Algorithm 1) Write down the problem 2) Think real hard 3) Write down the answer Murray Gell-mann in the NY Times
