Indeed, as Robert points out, texinfo 4.8 is now required; but also, IIRC, it had been previously been noted that 4.7 should *not* be used, because of a bug -- before the step up to 4.8, you had to use 4.6. Your use of 4.7 was always doomed to failure. Regards, Keith. _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
