User manual: last changes before V4.5
1) Run a spell checker through the user manual. Only three outright typos found!! 2) Correct sentence about reverse name lookup that results in dive site name reported in tags field, not in Location field. (Sergey, thank you!) Signed-off-by: Willem Ferguson <willemferguson@zoology.up.ac.za> Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
