Find changesets by keywords (author, files, the commit message), revision number or hash, or revset expression.
Add documentation of the new hex output formats. Thanks to text contributed by Tom LeMense, the manual now includes documentation of the hex formats he contributed. This also includes some updated text on the ORG directive. Only minor editorial changes vary the text from Tom's original.

+><P
+>LWTOOLS also includes a tool for managing libraries. These are analogous to
+the static libraries created with the "ar" tool on POSIX systems. Each library
+file contains one or more object files. The linker will treat the object
+files within a library as though they had been specified individually on
+the command line except when resolving external references. External references
+are looked up first within the object files within the library and then, if
+not found, the usual lookup based on the order the files are specified on
+the command line occurs.</P
+><P
+>The tool for creating these libary files is called LWAR.</P

+>The binary for LWAR is called "lwar". Note that the binary is in lower
+case. The options lwar understands are listed below. For archive manipulation
+options, the first non-option argument is the name of the archive. All other
+non-option arguments are the names of files to operate on.</P
