Guido van Rossum c85be6a0ff Fix another oldie (item (b) only):
Date:    Fri, 20 Dec 1996 14:47:50 +0100
From:    Lele Gaifax <lele@nautilus.eclipse.it>
To:      Python List <python-list@cwi.nl>
Subject: Typos in ref manual

Hi all,
browsing the reference manual I noticed what seem two small errors:
  a) in the list of keywords (section 2.3.1) 'exec' is missing
  b) in the Operator Precedence table (5.12) the comparison operators
     include '=', but probably '==' was intended.
Hope this help,
lele.

Migration to Frame 5.5.

Checking in the PDF file.  (This is questionable -- but we check in the
Postscript as well.  Perhaps *both* should be removed from the CVS tree,
now everything is unbundled and we're distributing PS and PDF tarballs?)

Note -- the HTML generation using webmaker is currently broken.  I'll
have to look into generating HTML from Frame...
