This patch fixes 3 documentation errors in 3.1.6, the first two of which
were present since at least the 3.1.0 betas.  The last fix clears up
an unintended ambiguity introduced in the expanded description of the
-m option to htmerge, which was supposed to clarify matters.  Now it
should be clearer.

Apply this patch in your main htdig-3.1.6 source directory using the
command:  patch -p0 < this-message-file
