There's no date to bump?

Looks good to me...

Not sure about the \f syntax, but other places use it...

Yeah, this is easily the strangest manual I've ever edited. A straight 10 on the strange-o-meter.

This manual is not written in standard mdoc from what I can see. It's like it was written by martians.

It doesn't have any of the normal anchors I am familiar with.

I'll just shoehorn a date in here somewhere and hope it works. If it does, I'll hoist it up for review.

.Dd is not working. It either has no effect or it destroys the formatting of the entire manual.

No idea how to add a date to this oddly written manual

If no additional comments, I'll move ahead without adding the date (which I could not figure out how to add)
