There is an 'info' which probably can be made to work - check the mailing list over the last couple of weeks. I, however, could not get it to work properly (NT4 SP4), or compile it from source properly. Being in a hurry, I gave up and downloaded 'emacs': ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu/pub/ntemacs/docs/ntemacs.html which is small enough to download quickly, is a good editor and can be installed without having to use a brain. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
