    doc/ms.ms: Tweak unit definitions.
    
    * doc/ms.ms (Basic Information): Tweak unit definitions.  groff
      defines a typesetter's point as precisely 1/72 inches.  Also use the
      correct symbol for inch units--strictly, it's the same as that for
      "seconds" as in subdivisions of the degree, and not a typographical
      quote of any sort.
    
    Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59463>.
