            Bug ID: 196786
           Summary: please re-instate me as AUTHOR for jot, rs, and lam
                    utilities
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jak at ucop.edu

Background:
My name seems to keep disappearing from the AUTHOR section of the man pages for
the "jot", "rs", and "lam" commands.  I used to tell Jordan Hubbard (when he
headed up Mac OS for Apple) about it, and it would be re-instated on Mac OS,
then it would disappear in a later release of the OS.  Now, the Apple folks are
telling me that they pull in changes from
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/usr.bin/{jot,rs,lam}, and that's where the
documentation fix should occur.

Request:
Please re-instate my name (as "John A. Kunze") as AUTHOR of the jot, rs, and
lam utilities.  I wrote these in 1982, around or before the time that I worked
with Jordan at UCB (he left to work at FreeBSD and later at Apple).  Thank you!

Steps to reproduce:
1. Type "man jot", or "man rs", or "man lam".
2. Skip to the bottom and note the missing AUTHOR section in each page.
