To be honest, I never use info to read texinfo-documentation, but either TkInfo
< http://math-www.uni-paderborn.de/~axel/tkinfo/ >,
or the PDF version. I'll have a look at the problem when the next TeXinfo will be
ported.

Subject: [GnuWin32-Users] Re: [Groff] groff CVS now needs texinfo 4.8



From my earlier posting to the groff mailing list:
As an aside, will info 4.8 be required to to read the info files
generated by makeinfo 4.8?  I currently use info 4.3, as supplied
with MSYS, in conjunction with makeinfo 4.6 from GnuWin32, without
problem -- I had problems with with the GnuWin32 info 4.6, which,
alas, I neglected to report on the appropriate mailing list,
until now.

To be explicit, the problem I noted was that, when I invoked the GnuWin32 implementation of info 4.6 from the MSYS shell, I would see the first page of the info file displayed, and info would then exit to the shell prompt, without allowing me to browse any further into the file.

If I tried the same from cmd.exe, info simply aborted, with a
message to the effect that the console was too dumb to support it.

Perhaps I simply need to have something else installed, but I was
unable to glean, from the supplied docs, what that might be.

Any idea what I am missing?

Best regards,
Keith.
