Uh-oh... so why don't the PPC people fix it? They have so fast machines...

Hmm, yes it was. I applied your patch to the original, reformatted doc and
diffed that with my previous version. I then put my typo corrections and
othes back in, using your patched, reformatted doc. Also the FIXMEs are in
the patched, reformatted doc. I then sent a diff of my overhauled, patched,
reformatted doc relative to your patched, original, reformatted doc, so your
patches are not listed in the diff, but they are in debian-mac-3,txt on my
page. I was thinking of the comments you had on my patch, the questions I
raised there. I was asking for patches to debian-mac-3.txt, not
debian-mac.txt.
