Stop spelling "Unix" as "UNIX".
Per AT&T Bell Labs veterans Doug McIlroy and Meg McRoberts, spelling "Unix" in full caps was a contrivance insisted upon by AT&T lawyers, and not a practice used in the Unix manuals themselves or the Bell Labs Technical Journal. See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2015-01/msg00026.html and https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2015-01/msg00029.html for support. There are instances I did _not_ change; they may require further review. ChangeLog.* People don't often look for model usage here. NEWS One reference relevant to mdoc; see below. doc/meintro.me doc/meintro_fr.me These documents also give the small caps treatment to groff, troff, and nroff, suggesting a separate changeset. src/preproc/pic/pic.ypp Contains a comment referring to "Compaq Tru64 UNIX"; not worth the candle IMO. tmac/s.tmac: {ms macro package} Leaving UX macro definition alone until/unless it can be established that this doesn't change the rendering of historical documents in an objectionable way. tmac/doc-syms-u: tmac/doc-old.tmac-u: tmac/doc-common-u: tmac/groff_mdoc.7.man: {mdoc macro package} Similar; mdoc defines many strings that spit out "UNIX" (albeit not with a font size change). * MORE.STUFF: * NEWS: * README.MinGW: * contrib/groffer/README: * contrib/pdfmark/pdfmark.ms: * contrib/pdfmark/pdfroff.1.man: * doc/groff.texi: * doc/webpage.ms: * m4/groff.m4: * man/groff_diff.7.man: * man/groff_tmac.5.man: * man/roff.7.man: * src/preproc/html/pre-html.cpp: * src/roff/troff/troff.1.man: Change "UNIX" to "Unix", discarding markup as necessary.
