well, here is the dir file not encoded: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -*- Text -*- This is the file .../info/dir, which contains the topmost node of the Info hierarchy. The first time you invoke Info you start off looking at that node, which is (dir)Top. File: dir Node: Top This is the top of the INFO tree This (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics. Typing "d" returns here, "q" exits, "?" lists all INFO commands, "h" gives a primer for first-timers, "mTexinfo<Return>" visits Texinfo topic, etc. Or click mouse button 2 on a menu item or cross reference to select it. --- PLEASE ADD DOCUMENTATION TO THIS TREE. (See INFO topic first.) --- In Debian Linux, Info \`dir' entries are added with the command \`install-info'. Please refer to install-info(8) for usage details. * Menu: The list of major topics begins on the next line. General Commands ------------------------------------------------------------------------- i do not see any "info" entry in this dir. what do you mean? > Many days ago I had the same problems and found a little script > in a texinfo distribution.
