The original manual page is really lacking in content,
even containing less information than the usage output
from the programme itself does.
Therefore I decided to rewrite the manual page, from the
bottom and up. Having chosen Docbook as preferred source
format, it will be possible to collect adaptions of the
text also in other languages for the benefit of all
inexperienced users, or even school children.
It is my hope that the master copy manual page in English,
will not be used to produce almost blue print translations,
but instead each adaption should reflect the general content
and do it in an enthusiastic way, thus capturing the interest
of also the young users.
In the best of worlds, a well localized text could even awake
and foster among these new users, an interest in preserving
the UNIX culture that is expressed in the old fashioned format
a manual page still represents.
Naturally, the same Docbook source will be used to produce
also XHTML documentation for this useful piece of software,
suitable for education as well as for art work in general.
Please consider finding collaborators in contributing an
adaption of the manual page also for your native language.
