P.S. don't sweat it.

Not Good at all. Hi Stepan, This works. However, having "autogen.texi" consist of just header overhead plus a [EMAIL PROTECTED] generated.texi'' turned out not to work either. Another good guess, but in the end the texinfo make macros do not detect the @include directive. Leastwise, not so it shows up in the dependencies. I could fiddle with manual dependencies to see how I could get them to a state where they work once for the first build and never again. But it is too hard. I want it simple. Creating a bogus file then running automake and then deleting the bogus file; that's simple, even if dodgy and esthetically displeasing. Thank you very much for your ideas and help! Regards, Bruce
