Sorry about that, I was really naive here and had no idea I was. > 1) The standalone Info reader is not "the" info reader and should not be > called such. You know better :). Well, you would think :) Let recap: I was looking for information about compressed Info files support in the documentation using "info info". The first "info" is irrelevant, granted :) I don't care what info reader I used, what I'm pointing at it is that the "naive" path to find info about Info files does not spell out that compressed files are supported. > 2) You seem to think that the majority of people would prefer to read > info-stnd.info instead of info.info.
