>Description:
	The vis.3 man page misuses comprise to mean compose.  Comprise and
	compose actually have reverse senses; if A comprises B, B composes
	A.  (Or, more idiomatically, A is composed of B.)  "comprised of"
	is meaningless.

>How-To-Repeat:
	man 3 vis
>Fix:
	This patch should work.  It's not completely tested, but I'm pretty
	sure the fix is machine-independant.  Ideally, someone with a 386
	would test it also.  ;-)
