Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no

2001-11-28T07:26:15+00:00

parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

Minor revision of the text.

certain Linux systems.

Make the reference to the os module in the module synopsis (for the

1999-07-01T13:53:32+00:00

table at the front of the chapter) a hyperlink.

Change the example of configuring for large file support under Solaris

1999-05-26T13:03:34+00:00
