John--

Believe it or not, the problem of roff commands in the text is already on the
list of items to attend to.  However, it has been pushed back because of the
relative complexity of the problem (as compared to, say, editing known source
file errors), so the list you've generated is most highly appreciated.   The
games problem was entirely overlooked, so double thanks on that one.

Be seeing you...
