Send bug reports and ...

Nowadays, the message on gnuplot's start-up:

  Send bug reports and suggestions to <http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot>

does no longer fit to 80 characters making it strange looking on many
terminals. Thus, it should be changed. The following messages would fit into
80 characters:

1.
  The gnuplot FAQ is available from http://www.gnuplot.info/faq/
  ...
  Report bugs and suggestions to http://sf.net/projects/gnuplot

2.
  The gnuplot FAQ is available from www.gnuplot.info/faq/
  ...
  Report bugs and suggestions to www.sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot


I would vote for 2.
Any ideas?

I have simplified the start message further. Is it OK?

That's fine, and I propose to add gnuplot homepage as well, thus:

         immediate help:  type "help"
         gnuplot home:    http://www.gnuplot.info
         gnuplot FAQ:     http://www.gnuplot.info/faq
         report bugs:     http://sf.net/projects/gnuplot/support
