There are alot of places in manpages where symbol '-' is used for minus sign.
Those symbols are converted to hyphen by groff in UTF-8 locales. '\-' should be
used for minus sign (see groff_char(7) for details).

Thanks. I should keep '-' in mind whenever I document the man page.

Patch committed. Now all the minus signs in man page should be \-
Just a question, how could I reproduce the problem of minus-sign to hyphen
problem in UTF-8 locale? I set "export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8" in a terminal and
then "make install && man lket-b2a" and everything including copy&paste looks
ok. I am using Fedora Core 6 & RHEL4 U4
