Subject: Back-Cover Text and --version updates
Date: Sun, 02 Sep 2007 14:09:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070902140855.GA6993@caradoc.them.org> (raw)

Two months ago, Karl sent out a reminder that the FSF had updated the
recommended --version output and the FDL Back-Cover Texts for GNU
manuals.  Could someone double-check these updates for me, please?
