Only problem I've had with pinfo is that I wasn't able to make work with soft links - i.e. you have a two versions of gcc and gcc is a link to the most current, pinfo burps a 'file not found' or something message. But I didn't really research it much, I had too many problems manually editing the info directory. Otherwise, with its fairly 'intuitive' navigation model, I think it makes reading the doc fo an extended period of time somewhat easier than either info or man. Enjoy.
