It seems that the generation of the info files, especially with the jump indications at the end of the first file, are improperly created. WOuldn't this explain the problem? Yes, it might explain it, except that those jump indications are correct, as far as I can tell. That's why

Can you tell me in which function the scanning is performed, I can take a look into the code. Ugh, when I've looked at this stuff before, it seems to be spread all over. Most of the relevant code is in nodes.c, I think, e.g., info_get_node. (And maybe once I learn how to debug an

Dear Dr. Shinsaku, I'm one of the people developing the TeX Live software distribution for the TeX user groups. The Debian project recently asked me about XyMTeX, which we do currently include in TeX Live, based on your license statement being analogous to that of Knuth's for TeX itself. But
