This has been fixed in the new 0.12a package that should be out in a
couple of days. 

Thanks for mentioning it, since I hadn't ever actually looked at the man
pages.  I also don't know roff, so I couldn't have fixed it easily,
either. 

Mike.

man lrz and man lsz produces several warnings and some garbage on the
screen. It seems that the first two lines in lsz.1 and lrz.1, which are
porpable supposed to be comments are invalid. The first three characters
on those lines should be .\" rather than '\". After modifying them, they
seem to work just fine.
