Follow-up Comment #4:
I think Nab was right and i was wrong; the font change strings only do the
traditional .Tn-style size reduction for all caps proper names like AT&T and
UNIX, and that is not needed for the architecture name 32V. So i pushed the
original version of the patch, not my modified version.
Regarding "UNIX" versus "Unix", i agree that using "Unix" is better when using
it as a generic English word, for example in an expression like "Unix-like
operating systems". But here, we are citing the names of commercial products
of AT&T, so we should use their official spelling, and that always used all
caps for UNIX as far as i know. At least the trademark was and is "UNIX", not
"Unix". Besides, all the other output strings print "UNIX", so this one
should not diverge.
Commited as 21d30728.
