Several folks took time to send me copies of man(1) pages written by
Guy Harris describing cron's queuedefs and .proto files.  Sun systems
have these pages.

Anyone else wanting copies can get them by mailing a request to me.

Actually, what they have is the original versions of those pages (and
4.0 systems may not have the ".proto" page - I wrote that after 4.0 went
out, in response to another "AT&T forgot to document this, how does it
work" message), which were written for SunOS's 4.x's modified version of the
S5R3 "cron" (SunOS prior to 4.x didn't have the S5 "cron", and as such
don't have those pages).  The pages for vanilla S5 are a bit different.

One *HOPES* AT&T picked those pages up for S5R4.... (*I* sure hope so, so I
can relinquish any responsibility for them to AT&T!)
