(Help, mainline code): Add new option -L FILE. (Copyright): Update year. (LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, LC_NUMERIC, LC_TIME): New shell vars, to make sure we live in the C locale. (mainline code): Handle nonstandard -u option differently, by transforming it to standard form. Check for "Working file: ", not "Working file:". Allow file names with spaces. (SOH, rlogfile): New shell vars. (rlogout): Remove. Its old functionality is mostly migrated to rlogfile. Append ';;' to the last arm of every case statement, for portability to ancient broken BSD shells. (logins): Fix bug; was not being computed at all, lowering performance. (pository): New var. This fixes some bugs where repositories are remote, or have trailing slashes. (authors): $llogout is never an empty shell var, so don't worry about that possibility. (printlogline, mainline code): Fix bug with SOH's being put into the output.

This directory contains the architecture-independent files used by or
with Emacs.  This includes some text files of documentation for GNU
Emacs or of interest to Emacs users, and the file of dumped docstrings
for Emacs functions and variables.

`termcap.src' is included mainly for VMS.  It is a copy of the
`/etc/termcap' file used on Unix.
