-The \fICOUNT\fR value is a number which may be followed by one of
-these multiplicative suffixes: c C *1; w W *2; b B *512; k K KiB *1,024;
-KB *1,000; m M MiB *1,048,576; MB *1,000,000 . This pattern continues
-for "G", "T" and "P". Also a suffix of the form "x<n>" multiplies the
-leading number by <n>. Alternatively numerical values can be given in

-or "H"). When hex numbers are given, multipliers cannot be used.
+The \fICOUNT\fR numeric argument may include a multiplicative suffix or be
+given in hexadecimal. See the "NUMERIC ARGUMENTS" section in the
