So it is the _body_ content that is changing, depending on whether or not the event has a duration smaller than a day? Not really reasonable behavior for a machine-parseable output mode... Unfortunately, if it has been this way for ages then most consumers of the -s (-p) output presumably now *depend* on -b0 behaviour, and I guess I'll have to follow suit. I would still stand by my comment that this behaviour is not documented in the rem2ps manpage (even with just a pointer to the -b flag), which is where you are telling programatic users to look for the output format. But I'll clarify the code comment accordingly.
