Re: [gpsd-dev] Copy of IEC 61162-1

Several of us, over the years, have attempted to paraphrase NMEA-0183, and RTCM-104 docs without serious repercussions (save the time my boss thought I was spending too much time on that task). A lot of that's out on the Web, but it requires some filtering, as there are others, with less technical basis, who have also paraphrased said docs... with some amusing results.

GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
