Summary 04376: Typo in lib/util/opresolv.c
Description While running the lintian package checker on my self compiled mame I got the following warning:

lintian -I -i mame_0.142-2_i386.deb
I: mame: spelling-error-in-binary ./usr/games/mame Paramter Parameter

indeed while grepping through the code I noticed:

grep -rw Paramter src/*
src/lib/util/opresolv.c: "Paramter specified multiple times",

I hope I am not too fussy by reporting such a thing !

Well, to waste the time to fill out a whole bug report for 1 missing letter in a sentence, it might be. If you have similar things like this (trivial typos, misspellings), I'd like to see them posted at the SDLMAME forum. It'll be less work for everyone and it will be seen just as quickly if not quicker there.
Better yet, a properly made .DIFF file making the change and submitting to:
submit@mamedev.org

hum, I see on the link you gave:

Cosmetic changes to the source are best left up to the core developers. If your change doesn't add anything worthwhile to the actual code, it is not worth your time to submit it.
