But in fact e.g. info gcc works _without_ -f as any with file with less than 8 chars long filename (it supposes that the name of the topic and the file name are the same). Apparently using -f forces info to look through the file dir. to find the corresponding filename, whereas it looks directly to gcc.inf or gcc.info in the opposite case. I read usually info files through rhide (which works perfectly) or infview (for which the problems still remains). I stumbled into the infview problem after installing those new versions, and tried the simpler, older (but less usable: no mouse, strange key bindings !) info standalone to see if the problem persists, forgetting the -f since I did'nt used it for a long time. Now is it possible that the "natural" way of doing, the one which pops out when everything is forgotten, be the right one, i.e. to imply -f as a default ?
