Question about a2ps's perl.ssh

[Larry W. Virden]

I was comparing the sheets.tar.gz that is on the a2ps web site with
the sheets directory in a2ps 4.13 (which as far as I can tell
was the last release).  I found that quite a number of the pages in
the sheets tar file are newer than the ones in the distribution.
However, there is one which is older than what I have in my a2ps
distribution - perl.ssh .  Here's what I see as diffs.  Can anyone
comment on why the sheets tar file has an older file?
