lots of mails here
Indeed. I'm afraid I can't keep up, so after these short replies, I'm
bowing out of this thread.
I still don't see why you are opposing
the idea to have different versions of the same program installed,
and wanting to be able to *check* all of them.
I don't oppose it. I just proposed (part of) a way to do it.
Change info reader node search method as follows:
* if a node is going to be followed, first search *in*the*current*directory*
for the respective info file, and if that fails search INFOPATH.
I don't oppose that either. Sounds good to me. (It seems orthogonal to
the dir file, which is ordinarily how users would see the different
available manuals, as far as I can imagine it. Also orthogonal to the
question of external cross-references to unversioned manuals. Anyway.)
Best,
Karl
