But, where would the user find the info file? It isn't in any distribution yet. Alternatively, you could just include the current newlib info files in the package. >2) work on something to break the current newlib texinfo into man pages There are packages to do this. Possibly gcc uses one already. >Either way, I'd rather go ahead with the cygwin-doc as-is and put it on >my documentation todo list. I don't want to be pushy but I would really prefer that you incorporate the newlib stuff via either 1) or 2) (2 preferred). I foresee confusion otherwise. cgf
