It was actually the cvs.1 man page that I wanted to fix since it is the resource I use the most. > In the worst case, just provide the text and it > can be turned into texinfo compatible format. The format of the file is pretty simple.

Oddly, it used to only get stuck on incoming mail, which was really bizarre since it was appended to other people's mail... I see that is "fixed" now. (Refreshing to note you assumed it was beyond my control.) The licensing will not be a problem. While I did identify the issue while working with CVS at work, I am doing this documentation effort at home on my own time, and I do intend to submit it as my own work which is independent of my employer. To keep that more clear, I'll refrain from using my employer's e-mail account for any further activity on this thread. Kevin R.
