See: http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/archives/pari-dev-0801/msg8.html the issue is that make docpdf does not generated any kind of hyperlink, and DVI is much faster to display than PDF, so I am not usure it is a gain.

The Debian package could provide both, so that the user can choose. Moreover, the user may not be able to read dvi files if he doesn't have a dvi viewer (which isn't common and xdvi has many dependencies). -- Vincent Lefèvre [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Web: http://www.vinc17.org/ 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: http://www.vinc17.org/blog/ Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)

But I do not think this would resolve this particular wishlist item to Yann statisfaction. Cheers, -- Bill.
