Dear Maintainer,
Changes:
\/ added between an italic and a roman character
A full stop (.) at the end of an abbreviation protected with \&
\- in(side) a compound word (option) changed to - (hyphen-minus).
For copy-and-paste people, the command 'man' should provide an option
that uses the ASCII code for hyphen-minus in options (are printed in bold)
instead of the code of a minus- or hyphen-glyph..
Space between sentences changed to two spaces

Hello,
I am closing these. They are against old versions of find, have been
