[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

Attached three patches (sorry, I can't do 'git send-email' from here)
make some small changes to error messages and option descriptions.

The first patch puts the words "carriage return" and "newline" a bit
wider apart, instead of gluing them together with a hyphen -- this
had confused me up to now.  And it makes the wording for the onlret
option the same as for the ocrnl and onlcr options.  If the latter
change is not correct, please suggest another wording that makes
clear how this option differs from ocrnl and onlcr.

Benno
