8d2a434262 Add a graphical figure for the natd chapter to replace the ASCII art 
when the output format supports it.

The PNG driver for Ghostscript doesn't support anti-aliasing on
FreeBSD, so the PNG file was created on another platform and should
not be automatically generated from the eps file.

Submitted by:	G. Adam Stanislav (created the EPS file with a text editor)

274eb68ac6 In preface, answer #3, the word "proviso" is used. This word is not 
a commonly-used English word and can really be replaced with the word
"provision".  This will make things a little easier for those who do
not speak English as their primary language.
