  Travelling-wave solutions of the standard and compound form of Korteweg-de
Vries-Burgers equations are found using factorizations of the corresponding
reduced ordinary differential equations. The procedure leads to solutions of
Bernoulli equations of nonlinearity 3/2 and 2 (Riccati), respectively.
Introducing the initial conditions through an imaginary phase in the travelling
coordinate, we obtain all the solutions previously reported, some of them being
corrected here, and showing, at the same time, the presence of interesting
details of these solitary waves that have been overlooked before this
investigation
