+
+Page renamings
+--------------
+
+The following pages have been relocated into section 7, since
+that is their more natural home.  SEE ALSO references in various
+other pages have been adjusted.
+
+epoll.4
+fifo.4
+futex.4
+complex.5
+environ.5  (many pages outside man-pages actually *expect*
+           'environ' to be in Section 7.)
+ipc.5 renamed to svipc.7
+
+".so" link files have been created to link the old file locations to the 
+new file locations.  These links are added just to ensure that cross 
+references from any other (non-man-pages) pages will remain valid;
+eventually these links will be removed.  
+
