Jim Meyering 24ec8f28bb * coreutils.texi (Squeezing): Separate doubled "the", so typo-checkers
don't complain.
2006-07-08 06:03:50 +00:00
Jim Meyering a56e9c5a4d * Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Enforce the zeros vs. zeroes consistency. 2006-07-08 05:31:59 +00:00
Jim Meyering 38fbc11f7b * coreutils.texi: Fix some typos. Use `zeros' consistently (both

Paul Eggert 31acf81fa0 With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'

Paul Eggert 69f1a97138 seq defaults to a minimal fixed point format that does not lose
information if seq's operands are all fixed point decimal numbers.
You no longer need the `-f%.f' in `seq -f%.f 1048575 1024 1050623',
for example, since the default format now has the same effect.

seq now lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.

seq now uses long double internally rather than double.

Paul Eggert 3807c8d93d (check-texinfo): Use $(_W) and $(W_) instead of
assuming grep -w (which is not portable).
