Hi! The Texinfo manual explains that info files are, by default, split into 50kb-or-so chunks. I guess the point is to bound memory usage? Still, 50kb seems a rather low threshold today.
Would you have any advice against the use of `makeinfo --no-split' in a project like Automake, where the manual is rather small? (I'm speaking about Automake itself, not projects using Automake.) ~/projs/cvs/automake/branch-1-7 % ls -1hs automake.info* 4.0K automake.info 48K automake.info-1 56K automake.info-2 56K automake.info-3 56K automake.info-4 40K automake.info-5 What else could I do so these files do not conflict on system like DJGPP, with 8+3 filenames? (Striping the `.info' extension, as done in Texinfo, obviously isn't enough.) FWIW, I see that Autoconf has been using --no-split for many years, for similar reasons. | Fri Mar 3 11:41:01 1995 David J.
