While poking at Wget 1.15 on VMS, I noticed some indentation quirks
in the --help output (while converting it to a VMS HELP source file),
generally related to --long_options (src/main.c):
Typical alignment:
-S, --server-response print server response.
--spider don't download anything.
Too far left?:
--backups=N before writing file X, rotate up to N backup files.
--no-use-server-timestamps don't set the local file's timestamp by
the one on the server.
--trust-server-names use the name specified by the redirection
url last component.
"--backups=N" may fit into 80 columns:
--backups=N before writing file X, rotate up to N backup files.
"--no-use-server-timestamps" is too wide to fit easily where it belongs,
but that's not my fault. I'd align the hyphens, and move (only) this
one explanation a couple of units to the right:
--no-use-server-timestamps don't set the local file's timestamp by
the one on the server.
I haven't yet tried it on a VAX, but with only a little fooling
around in the VMS-specific stuff, a build worked on Alpha (so IA64 is
likely, too). One quick FTP fetch also worked, so I'm confident that
it's not completely broken. (What could go wrong?)
