+ With the nroff output you need to escape a tick ' at the beginning of
+ a line, because otherwise nroff does not prints the rest of the line.
+ Do not ask me if this is correct solution or if there are other
+ special characters you must escape, I am no nroff expert.
+  
+ In the nroff output the following
+ 
+ 'blabla
+ 
+ leads to no output. But
+ 
+ \'blabla 
+ 
+ leads to the correct output
+ 
+ 'blabla
+ 
+ 
+ The patch 'point_newline_fix.patch' fixes this and the capitalization
+ problem from the last mail.
+ 
+ I used the source from
+   http://ftp.lh.umu.se/debian/dists/potato/main/source/devel/
+ 
+   c2man_2.41.orig.tar.gz
+ 
+ with the patch
+ 
+   c2man_2.41.diff.gz 
+ 
+ from the same ftp server applied.
+ 
+ I added a directory 'test' with this text as README.point_test and the
+ example file point_test.h and one false and one corrected output
+ unix man page in it.
+ 
+ Further there is now README.newline_test and the example file newline_test.h
+ and one false and one corrected output unix man page.
