Do I detect just a slight touch of contradiction here? Where does info2man get the reference information for the manpage, if not from the Info manual? Indeed, every FSF-policy conforming Info manual has a section "Invoking foo" which contains very nearly the same things as a typical manpage does. Of course, the FSF policy itself is an Info document (standards.info). Maybe that is the real bug :-) -- Ian Zimmerman, Oakland, California, U.S.A. In his own soul a man bears the source from which he draws all his sorrows and his joys. Sophocles.
