I don't get this, just as I don't understand people bashing Stallman. What is it in the program that is so horrible to ***DESPISE*** it? It *is* searchable from within info, it *has* several output formats as it is LaTeX based. And the basic concept seems valid. Okee, the interface is not to everybodies likening:), so improve. Okee, the translation into other formats has its problems:), so improve. But the search works for me, and the idea that there is more to documenting a program then merely listing what options it has seems okee. And going through a tree like doc structure is quit common these days. So what is it that makes you (and others) react so vehemently? -- groetjes, carel
