Hello Alfred, Sorry for the very long delay, I just stumbled over your mail again. * Alfred M.

The GNITS manual does have several links to the GCS, but none of the HTML references work. ;-) For example, in <http://www.gnu.org/software/womb/gnits/Errors.html> there is a reference to <http://www.gnu.org/software/womb/standards/Errors.html> You should be able to fix that with some addition to the womb/.symlinks file. How about the patch below (for HEAD and branch-1-5)? Barring objections, I'll apply in a few days.
