One of the assignment officers at the FSF got back to me and said that reordering was OK without a copyright assignement, but you also seem to have made some changes on your own. For instance, you turned: -.TP -.BI "\-symbols=" "file"\c -.TP -.BI "\-s " "file"\c Into: +.TP +.B -s FILE, \-symbols=FILE As it turns out, I'm really wondering whether this is a correct change, since the switch argument is no longer in italics. It seems to be the convention that such arguments be in italics. Eli, what do you think? What do others think? In any case, I think that it's better to wait for the paperwork to come through to accept your contribution (but please be ready to restore the use of .BI instead of .B as explained above). -- Joel
