>Description:
	The eject(1) manpage's list of arguments to the -t option is
	incomplete, and it does not make it clear that -t is
	*necessary* in order to eject a device for which no knowledge
	is built in.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to eject a zip disk.  Wonder why it's babbling about an
	"impossible" devtype.  Read the manpage, fail to be
	enlightened.  UTSL, realize what's happening, and note that the
	types[] array includes two items not listed in the manpage.
>Fix:
	Herewith a patch for eject.1:
