if INFOPATH is set correctly (and the $INFOPATH/dir file has been built
fully[1])
`info cvs` will work.
[1] I learned when using stow[2], that I had to move the individual dir files
to dir.package and then in the stowed info directory do something like:
FCOUNT=`ls dir.*|wc -l |awk '{print $1}'`
COUNT=`expr $FCOUNT - 1`
cat `ls dir.*|head -1` > dir
for i in `ls dir.* |tail -$COUNT`; do /tmp/infodirbuild $i >> dir;done
begin /tmp/infodirbuild:
BEGIN_LINE=`grep -n " Menu:" $1|awk -F : '{print $1 }'`
END_LINE=`wc -l $1|awk '{print $1}'`
NUM_LINES=`expr $END_LINE - $BEGIN_LINE`
tail -$NUM_LINES $1
end /tmp/infodirbuild.
