Subject:	Re: GNU Info: Indirect Addressing

The byte offsets are often inaccurate due to the CR/LF translations.
Basically, if you concatenated all the split info files back together,
the offsets are relative to that.  The Indirect section tells you the
"start" of each file relative to the whole, and the tag table tells
you the offset into the whole of the start of that node line.

Because of the CR/LF issue, you may only be able to use this info to
decide which file has the node in it, or maybe as an approximation (or
a first guess) as to where the node is in the file.
