        * manifest: use SIGQUIT(3) rather than SIGTRAP(5) in trap commands
        This error dates back to 1997 (970802) in ncurses:
                + many corrections to make progs/capconvert work, as well as make it
                  reasonably portable and integrated with ncurses 4.1 (reported by Dave
                  Furstenau <df@ravine.binary.net>).

        but I see in my "nfilter" script I used it as far back as December 1993, on the
        other hand in "externs" (August 1991) I had it corrrect.

        But here are the first uses in ncurses:
                capconvert      1997/08/02 21:52:06    1.3
                edit_cfg.sh     1997/11/08 18:14:57    1.7
                make_sed.sh     1997/12/06 20:52:47       tom
                MKterminfo.sh   1998/09/05 23:53:51    1.4
                MKtermsort.sh   2001/05/26 23:37:57    1.7
                MKkey_defs.sh   2001/06/16 15:25:10       tom
                MKkeys_list.sh  2001/06/16 16:47:39       tom
                make-tar.sh     2010/02/20 22:46:57       tom

2017-03-19

2016-09-07

        * release2git:
        change format of date returned from git to make it match the format used

2016-08-17

        * release2git:
        make special case of changelog-name for dbmalloc, where I left the original
        "CHANGES" alone, and distributed the program with generated "ChangeLog" in
        2003.

        some macros in my-autoconf have pathnames longer than 32, which made the
