From: lukem <lukem@NetBSD.org>
Date: Sat, 14 Oct 2000 22:27:41 +0000
Subject: [PATCH] - update whatis files to contain (hopefully) up to date info
 on: 	- "this is the xxx major release" 	- features added and bugs
 fixed in 1.5 - use .Nx instead of NetBSD - use .Sq instead of ' [...] ' or `
 [ ... ] ' - use .Dq instead of " [...] "
