Bug 71739

Can't comment on the versioning.  I do note that
in CVS, the 6.0.10 sources are imported in the COLUMBIA
branch.  Maybe you're running an older system?

Thanks for bringing the URL change and other issues
to the doc team's attention.

Does Mr. Zadok have another email address to add
to the man page as well?

Doc team:  Patch, addressing only URL change, inline below.
  Maybe we can close this?

No, the PR is old :-)

Actually, the safest (against future changes) URL is, probably,=20

You can use my cs.sunysb.edu address.  Although, for official am-utils
stuff, I'd prefer "ezk@am-utils.org" as that will always be valid wrt Amd.

Cheers,
Erez.

The software author, in correspondance with the
filer of this PR and myself, has corrected his email
address, and the project's URI.  This bug should
