We could write a simple .dhelp to .dwww converter or dwww can use the /var/lib/dhelp/dbase database. That's no problem. I think, we should use this help system in Debian 2.0. Some other distributions already use such systems (for example SuSE). I've added dhelp support in debstd last night. It's really no problem to add dhelp support to your packages.

Why should we develop another system? We have a working system: dhelp. If we need new features, I can add them. cu, Marco -- Uni: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fido: 2:240/5202.15 Mailbox: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tu-harburg.de/~semb2204/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
