>Release:        FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE i386
>Organization:
Teletraffic Research Centre
>Environment:

	All versions I'm guessing, this man page hasn't changed since 1997
	according to the repository.

>Description:

	The send-pr(1) man page lists -v as the option to use to make
	send-pr print its version.  This isn't the case -- the option
	wanted here is -V or --version.

>How-To-Repeat:

	send-pr -v

>Fix:
	
	The following patch is _incomplete_.  It changes -v to -V but
	doesn't deal with --version as I don't know enough (any) groff
	to get one option listed on top of each other like in tar(1).
	Sorry!  The minor change to the -L documentation is for
	consistency.
