If you use Win95, get yourself the Tcl/Tk Win95 port, get yourself TkInfo,
and prepare for a treat  :)   Of course I don't have to go to that trouble
'cause I use Linux. Even has a DJGPP cross-compiler..  :)

Info really sucks IMO with the standard GNU Info reader, but with XEmacs
Info or TkInfo it's just as good as HTML (and yes, supports hyperlinks
too).
