Sir,
1. This document was not generated by me.
2. I do not produce man pages in any standard format.
3. All of my documentation is provided ONLY in html format to no
particular format convention.
4. I have resisted ripoffs of my html pages in any other format.
5. However, if ripoffs do occur, I have requested that they be
accompanied with a disclaimer that the official original is ONLY in html
format at the official documentation site www.ntp.org.
