vn comp.sources.unix posting - xmit error?

I just unpacked the archives from VN 1/88 in comp.sources.unix and diffed
against the "master".  Two files showed up differences, one of which is going
to create compilation problems:

1 config_std.h - 2 lines appear to have been chopped - an empty line and the
	comment start around line 40 (OLDRC comment).  Put in the comment
	start, and you'll be identical with the intended source file.  This
	is in archive 2.

2 vn.man - (manual page) - for some reason every line beginning with a period
	now begins with 2 periods.  This is in archive 1.

I checked the archives I sent Rich, and they appear to have gone out OK from
this end.  I would be curious to know how 2) happened - I suppose a mailer
could be at fault here, trying to escape all the nroff statements for some
arcane reason.  In the case of 1), I assume Rich built the thing, and would
have caught it, so I think somebody's news transmission hiccupped.  Anyway,
if you fix the 2 things above, your source will match what I sent out,
assuming the articles that arrived at your site match the ones arriving
here.
