Proposal to improve readability (specially for non-english users)

Subject: Proposal to improve readability (specially for non-english users)
Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2007 00:11:54 +0200

Proposal to change the
static const *const usg[] = {
 ....
} value in the file /SRC/main.c file to improve the readability.


A new member of our team encountered some problem to understanding the cvs "usage" message. when he try to figure out how to get help. (command line) Consulting older team members resulted
in an proposal which was build into our local CVS version.


instead of the original text:
DCL>cvs
usage: cvs [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments]
  where cvs-options are -q, -n, etc.
    (specify --help-options for a list of options)
  where command is add, admin, etc.
    (specify --help-commands for a list of commands
     or --help-synonyms for a list of command synonyms)
  where command-options-and-arguments depend on the specific command
    (specify -H followed by a command name for command-specific help)
  Specify --help to receive this message

The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a tool for version control.

we propose for making it in more readable:

DCL>cvs
 Usage: cvs [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments]
     where cvs-options  are -q, -n, etc.
     where command    is add, admin, etc.
     where command-options-and-arguments depend on the specific command
 Help:
     cvs --help-options     for a list of options
     cvs --help-commands for a list of commands
     cvs --help-synonyms  for a list of command synonyms
     cvs --help to receive this message
     cvs -H command for command-specific help

I hope this small textual change gets include into the next cvs update/build. Thanks
