RE: significance of -n option in rtag

[Jerry Nairn]

The modules file in CVSROOT can specify that a program should be run
whenever rtag is used on a module. The '-n' prevents any such program from
getting run.

If your modules file does not have a line like:

SManager -t program_name <other stuff>

there is no difference. If it does, then in the first case, program_name
would be executed.
