Mario, please tell me what application displayed that manpage that
you copied that from.  Or maybe off the WWW in a MSFT browser?

In my mail reader, it is in need of "demoronizing" (:)), containing
what looks like MSFT's 1252 characters in the range of 200 to 237
octal, which are not ISO-8859-* standard, so each quote shows up
something like: a\200\230.

I've verified that these illegal (IMO) characters are not in the
source manpage file (on kubuntu dapper) and I'm wondering who's
corrupting it.
