ok.  If that doesn't work, I'll need more details.  The last set of 
changes to that was to make the manpage-renames for Debian work properly,
and that was several months ago.

I noticed some comment about address@hidden when I was preparing 
the 5.5 release, but was using the same approach as for 5.4 and 5.3 - and 
sometime in that interval, someone put up the webpage with additional info 
from which I used the pieces dealing with ftp uploads that I had asked if 
it was written down online (it wasn't at that time), but didn't 
incorporate that (will keep it in mind).

The 5.5 announcement was on freshmeat and bug-ncurses (previous releases 
also had been announced on comp.os.linux.announce, but I decided not to go 
there this time).
