OK, it sounds like I should: 1) incorporate newlib-man-20001118 into cygwin-doc, maybe after a little sed that would put a "This doc is no longer being maintained; try info" 2) work on something to break the current newlib texinfo into man pages Either way, I'd rather go ahead with the cygwin-doc as-is and put it on my documentation todo list. So far I've got: --Add the HTML for cygwin User's Guide, API Reference, etc. (after the openjade, etc. packages are added) --Finish patching the utils so that they output useful --help (and --version) and then update utils.sgml to reflect those changes, then update the man pages (which are generated from utils.sgml) --Add useful descriptions to the cygwin_foo() functions that currently have none --Figure out how to make info files from the cygwin sgml --Actually update the documentation to reflect the current state of affairs __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
