Hello, David!

I applied it long ago.  Sorry if you didn't get my reply.  The file
"COPYING" was removed from CVS - it's installed by Automake now.

CVS gettext doesn't have it, so I think it should be OK.  On the other
hand, es.po in gettext uses "fichero".

That would be great.  That's something that can be done away from the
computer.  The command is "groff -wall -mandoc -Tps mc.1 >mc.ps"

Done.
