------------------------- About docs
- Added some in Spanish help links and clone latest
changes from English file. More updating, as usual.
- Spanish xnc.hlp: Adding GNU everywhere and make it
more readable.
- es.po and es_ES.po updated
- Some extra vertical spacing was left in English mc.1.in
- On the other hand, we can't get rid of the .TP at
the head of the options if we want proper indenting
of first option.
GPL --------------------------
- There some minor differences between our
COPYING file and the actual GPL.
- Help files reproduce these differences and
show an outdated address. I made a separate patch
to apply it to the different localized help files.
- There's a funny ^L shown in the help text
GPL in xnc.hlp.
Misc -------------------------
- How will the maintainer know how to localize the
date in the man pages before the release?
- With mc -w you get:
-w: unknown option
Could we have something like: ?
mc: unknown option '-w'
Which looks more like in:
dd: unrecognized option `-w'
Try `dd --help' for more information.
or in:
cp: invalid option -- w
Try `cp --help' for more information.
And these programs don't show help with errors. With mc
it may be difficult to recognize the real error:
This is what I get under Mandrake:
...
Please send any bug reports (including the output of `mc -V')
to mc-devel gnome org
-w: unknown option
-bash: cd: GNU Midnight Commander 2002-10-25-05
.: No such file or directory
------------------------
Telegraphic enough?
