Just another one: perhaps we should think and standarize the HELP (HTML-Help) directories, so that we distribute the HTM with the packages itself, as opposed to submit them to the HTML-Help maintainer, and hope that both programs (mine and HTML-Help) will be distributed together with the sync-ed ve
