programming question, hopefully very simple....no code

[quink]

Hey, i am new to programming...going after a CS degree and starting to learn enough where i wanna try playing around with some of this open source stuff.
Well I took someone's advice, downloaded the source to something i like and was gonna mess around with it, see if i could fix a bug or who knwos what. Anywas i noticed a typo in the help and i couldn't seem to find where in the source info for the
program --help
section was.
Ya know when you are on the command line and you typ ethat in how you get a bunch of general help output to the screen.
Is there a normal place where this is stored in the source files? Or what?
The specific thing i am talking about is the emu10k1 audio drivers on sourceforge.net
And if i am not making any sense please let me know.
Thanks

Hi
A way ?:
you could use grep to scan the source files
for all or part of the "typoed" help message
and hope a solution is found around there.

Ex:
grep -n -e "some pattern to look for" in_source_file-1 in_source_file-2 in_source_file-3 ...

man grep
