[PATCH 2/3] Remove trademark and registered symbols in text

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Remove trademark and registered symbols in text

The Legal page should have covered these trade marks.

Instead of removing the macros, substitute custom macros for them.
When a part of the text will be exported as a separate document,
these macros can be defined to output actual symbols as are shown
in comment in perfbook.tex.

I applied all three, thank you!  Good eyes, especially on the log->ln
change.  ;-)

							Thanx, Paul
