Re: locate(1) man page hard to understand, please rewrite

:: didn't seem to me to be prohibitively hard to understand. 

: No, but those options also not supported by the standard GNU locate
: program.  What version of locate are you using?  If it's derived from
: GNU findutils, the authors ought to send back their changes... 

I was using the default locate that ships with redhat.  That's linked to
"slocate" (both man and bin), which I thought was standard GNU, since it
said it was a "version of GNU locate", but that seems to be misleading. 

: If it's derived from GNU findutils, the authors ought to send back
: their changes... 

True.  Not sure why that wasn't done already...
