Description John A. Kunze 2015-01-15 21:35:32 UTC
Background:
My name seems to keep disappearing from the AUTHOR section of the man pages for the "jot", "rs", and "lam" commands.  I used to tell Jordan Hubbard (when he headed up Mac OS for Apple) about it, and it would be re-instated on Mac OS, then it would disappear in a later release of the OS.  Now, the Apple folks are telling me that they pull in changes from http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/usr.bin/{jot,rs,lam}, and that's where the documentation fix should occur.

Request:
Please re-instate my name (as "John A. Kunze") as AUTHOR of the jot, rs, and lam utilities.  I wrote these in 1982, around or before the time that I worked with Jordan at UCB (he left to work at FreeBSD and later at Apple).  Thank you!

Steps to reproduce:
1. Type "man jot", or "man rs", or "man lam".
2. Skip to the bottom and note the missing AUTHOR section in each page.
