Makeinfo tries to produce files that can be moved across different systems. However, my real problem is not with `+' per se, but with what will follow. If `+' is allowed, people will want to have other characters as well. Before long we will have `:', `|', `<', etc. Where do we stop, and how do we explain that other characters cannot be present in file names? At least now we have Posix to back us (many other programs impose similar restrictions on characters they use in file names). _______________________________________________ Bug-texinfo mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-texinfo
