Per DJ's request, I'm sending this reply to the list 
again.  Apparently, it accidentally got caught by his anti-spam filter 
the first time.  No need to reply again.

OK, understood.

Ugh.  We're going to need a little automation to match up the programs 
and categories as the DIR file is maintained and expanded.  If you 
don't object to gawk code, I could whip up an extractor program to read 
the DIR file and output a new file with program name, tab, category (or 
any other format that seems workable).  This new file could than be 
sorted and the result file read by zippo to construct the install-info 
line from the program name.

Or should zippo read the DIR file itself?
