Hi Alexandre,
I guess the point is to bound memory usage?
Yes.
Still, 50kb seems a rather low threshold today.
Yes, although I think it does no harm.
Would you have any advice against the use of
`makeinfo --no-split' in a project like Automake,
where the manual is rather small?
I think using --no-split would be fine.
What else could I do so these files do not conflict on system
like DJGPP, with 8+3 filenames?
This problem must have been solved in general long ago, right?
I don't think automake needs to do anything special in this regard.
As far as I know the DOS people have to rename the files to be things
like automake.i1 ... Eli?
(Striping the `.info' extension, as done in Texinfo, obviously isn't
enough.)
That's done to avoid problems on the old 14-character sysv filesystems
(irrelevant these days I would guess), not to fix 8.3 clashes, since (as
you say), it doesn't :).
Thanks,
karl
