+ 1 Apr as bs2tk posted to comp.lang.tcl (126 lines)
+ 2 bullets, change bars, copyright symbol
+ 5 boldface, other SGI nicks
+ 7 skip unrecognized escape codes
+10 small caps
+13 underscores considered uppercase so show up in default small caps font
+ screen out Ultrix junk (code getting pretty tangled now)
+14 until Tk text has better tab support, replace tabs by spaces until get to next tab stop (for Ultrix); -t gives tabstop spacing
+20 Solaris support (Larry Tsui)
+ 3 Jun section subheading parsing (Per-Erik Martin)
+28 hyphenated man pages in SEE ALSO show up correctly in Links (Mike Steele)
+13 Jul under FILES, fully qualified path names are added to Links, but this taken out immediately because not useful
+14 option to keep changebars on right (Warren Jessop)
+ 5 Aug search for header, footer dynamically--no need to edit or search large list of patterns
+11 -m kicks in man page formatting beyond nroff backspace kludges
+27 handle double digit numbers better by trying again relative to end of line
+19 Sep -T gives Tk extras (otherwise ASCII only)
+ -H gives headers only (implies -T off)
+10 Oct -r reverse compiles to [tn]roff source (as Geoff Collyer's nam and fontch, but leveraging existing analysis so only addition of ~60 lines) (The code is device-driver obscure now--obfuscated C contest next.)
+13 header and footer optionally available at bottom in Tk view (Marty Leisner)
+19 "reflected" odd and even page headers&footers zapped
+20 keep count of sections and subsections, using smaller font for larger numbers
+ 1 Nov reverse compiles to Ensemble, except for character ranges
+ 4 started rman rewrite for cleaner support of multiple output targets, including: plain ascii, headers only, TkMan, [nt]roff, Ensemble, SGML, HTML
+ 5 line filtering separated from other logic despite greater sophistication, RosettaMan faster than bs2tk (!)
+28 Dec man page reference recognition (Michael Harrison)
+
+
+1994
+ 1 Jan identify descriptive lists by comparing scnt2 with s_avg
+ 3 tail-end table of contents in HTML documents
+ 5 -f <filter> and LaTeX output mode
+24 proof-of-concept RTF output mode
+26 handle man pages that don't have a header on the first page
+28 parse "handwritten" man pages
+22 Feb alpha version released
+ 6 Mar various bug fixes
+10 beta version released
+13 Jun fixed surious generation on <DL>'s (the existence of which pointed out by David Sibley)
+22 Jul table recognition experiment. works reasonably well, except for tables with centered headers
+ 3 Aug allow for off-by-one (and -two) in identification of header and footer
+ fixed problem with recurrent/leftover text with OSF/1 bold bullets (yeesh)
+12 Sep 2.0gamma released
+13 check for *third* header, possibly centered, possibly after blank lines (Charles Anderson)
+ fixed tag ranges for lines following blank lines (just \n) of pages with global indentation (Owen Rees)
+19 fixed two small problems with LaTeX (^ => \^, \bullet => $\bullet$) (Neal Becker)
+24 simple check for erroneously being fed roff source
+26 deal with bold +- as in ksh (ugh)
+30 2.0delta released
+ 9 Oct special check for OSF to guard against section head interpreted as footer
+ 8 Nov Perl pod output format (result still needs work, but not much)
+ 7 Dec 2.0epsilon released (last one before final 2.0)
+22 Happy Winter Solstice! 2.0 released
+ deprecated gets() replaced (Robert Withrow)
+25 TkMan module's $w.show => $t, saving about 9% in generated characters
+
+
+1995
+ 1 Jan experiment with TkMan output to take advantage of my hack to Tk text (i.e., $t insert end "text" => $t insert end "text1" tag1 "text2" tag2 ...); results => output size reduced about 25%, time reduced about 12-15%
+25 Mar back to old mark command for Tk module
+8 May hyphens in SEE ALSO section would confuse link-finder, so re-linebreak if necessary(!) (Greg Earle & Uri Guttman)
+ 4 Aug put formats and options into tables (inspired by Steve Maguire's Writing Solid Code)
+19 -V accepts colon-separated list of valid volume names (Dag Nygren)
+22 MIME output format that's usable in Emacs 19.29 (just three hours at hacking HTML module) (Neal Becker)
+ 9 Sep nits in HTML and better Solaris code snippets (Drazen Kacar)
+13 Nov Macintosh port by Matthias Neeracher <neeri@iis.ee.ethz.ch>
+18 Dec adapted to LaTeX2e, null manRef yields italicized man ref (H. Palme)
+28 allow long option names (Larry Schwimmer)
+
+
+1996
