Hi Jim,

the first part of Benno's patch is a trivial documentation fix:
  http://debbugs.gnu.org/12212
  [PATCH 1/2] dd: the word BLOCKS no longer occurs in the help text

It fixes the man-page of dd. I replied that the same is
necessary in coreutils.texi, but there's no commitable patch
yet.

Now I see that you already CC'ed Benno ...

Have a nice day,
Berny
