[rrd-users] Re: Forcing Y axis of graphs to autoscale with a minimum range

Yesterday you sent me mail regarding Re: [rrd-users] Re: Forcing Y axis of...:

*> autoscales from 0 to N for N > 1 instead of 0 to N for N > 0.)
*> 
*> To a native english speaker it seems that "--upper-limit" is not

*> Me thinks english really sucks compared to perl.

:-) as usual a patch for the manpage will be greatly apreciated :-)
