Since [EMAIL PROTECTED] hasn't gotten back to me yet, and the packages I've uploaded have been rejected because I haven't been registered yet, you might as well ignore 1.10-3.1. Michael Shields, the current maintainer, doesn't really have the time to keep it up to date, so if you wanna take it (or if I could get registered, *nudge nudge wink wink* :>) that'd be great. > I see some overlap in the changelogs. Your version has: [...] Heh, maybe I should be more verbose in my changelogs. :) I'm slowly getting the hang of this - I didn't notice that bugs resolved should be mentioned in the changelog. There's actually quite a bit of overlap.

Heh, that works. I wrote the man page almost entirely by cutting and pasting stuff from the upstream README. :) Can you send this to me via e-mail? I don't have an account on master yet. Also I've been hearing that there's a namespace conflict between nc (netcat) and nc (nedit-client). Any ideas on this one? I think it'd be easier to rename the latter because it's not a backend tool and thus not likely to be used in scripts.
