Swapped the order of some sentences to help straighten it out. I don't really care about this, so other project members should feel free to do what they like here, but the messed-up order was bugging me. --- diff --git a/xboard.texi b/xboard.texi index 408288e..1fb07e7 100644 --- a/xboard.texi +++ b/xboard.texi @@ -2669,46 +2669,41 @@ to the main line of development. @cindex Contributors Chris Sears and Dan Sears wrote the original XBoard.
