I'm following the GNU coding standards: "If a lower-case identifier comes at the beginning of a sentence, don't capitalize it! Changing the spelling makes it a different identifier." > > aa.exe follows the rigorous algorithms for reduction of > > Is it "aa" or "aa.exe"? Presumably the former in Debian. Fixed. > input to aa.exe is by single line responses to programmed prompts. Capitilization again. I'm a little concerned about the short name for the package. However, if it's widely known in the field, it's probably okay. aa has been used for a long time.
