I am currently writing an info viewer, using my own (not sure why really)
functions to find files.
At the moment I am planning on just loading the first dir file found in each
INFOPATH directory, although it shouldn't be too difficult to make it load all
the versions.
Is it probably the case that if more than one exists in each directory the
repeated entries are just (un)compressed/different extension versions of the
same file?
I am not sure what to do, your advice would be appreciated. I suppose I should
just mirror the emacs/info functionality..
BTW, if you are interested, the project can be found at

Bye then,
Tom.
