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.
