You need to be able to support URL's and to support /usr/local/doc, /opt/doc, in short, any possible path into which a docreg file may be placed. Remember, install-docs is callable by the sysadmin as well as from maintainer scripts. > Remember this is just an alpha version of dhelp! That#s why I have > released it as experimental. I'm not at all against you writing experimental implementations against a spec. Just as long as you are aware that the spec can change, and just so long as we do not feel constrained *not* to change the spec because of any implementations done against the experimental spec. -- .....A.
