Should a support docreg files or documentation files in /usr/local/doc? The second is not possible! This will not work. All httpds support only doc files in /usr/doc. At the moment we#re talking about a solution for debian documentation. And that#s why only support for /usr/doc or /usr/share/doc is required. I#ll add support for several subdir later, but each subdir will have its own index and database! This is required by the WWW daemons.

Please give it a try. I#ll add .docreg files in some of my packages. So you could test dhelp. cu, Marco -- Uni: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fido: 2:240/5202.15 Mailbox: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tu-harburg.de/~semb2204/
