The docs are *not* usually written in info file format. They're written in a dialect of TeX called 'texinfo', and compiled into info by the program 'makeinfo'. From the same texinfo source, 'TeX' will generate nicely formatted printable documentation, along with indexes generated by the 'texindex' program. Tools exist to generate HTML pages from the very same source, as well. If you don't have it yet, get the txi312b.zip package, which contains all these programs, and read up under 'info texinfo' about the texinfo documentation language. The GNU editor-of-choice, emacs, has special support for texinfo to ease editing. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker AT physik DOT rwth-aachen DOT de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
