For a reason still unclear to me, I have put unformated man pages
*instead* of formated ones in the binary package. Sorry.

The find.texinfo file contains a bug that I have never noticed before.
The node: top is incomplete. This means it looks like:
  @node Top, Introduction, , (dir)
  @comment  node-name,  next,  previous,  up
instead of:
  @node Top, Introduction, (dir), (dir)
  @comment  node-name,  next,  previous,  up

When info is invoked as:
  info find
I get the error message:
  Can not find node top.
with the distributed info files. Of course the same happens
when a find entry is invoked from the DIR menu.

With the fixed find.texinfo and DIR from djdev203.zip
every thing works O.K. You do not need to run install-info.
All entries for findutils in DIR work as they should do.
I have tested the fixed find.infos with MSDOS 6.22 and WIN 31
and I had no trouble at all.

I will send today or tomorrow new source und binary packages
to Delorie so in a couple of days they will appear on Simtel.

Excuse any inconveniences caused.

Regards,
Juan M. Guerrero
