+ I used for description of some string functions the following end
+ character description : '\0'
+ 
+ This leads to false output for latex and nroff
+ latex: '\0' --> '\0'
+ nroff: '\0' --> '\0'
+ 
+ the right output would be:
+ latex: '\0' --> '$\backslash$0'
+ nroff: '\0' --> '\\0'
+ 
+ I added this behaviour to the files 'nroff.c' and 'latex.c'. 
+ For an example use backslash.h and take a look at the output
+ or try to do 'latex backslash.tex' with or without this  patch.
