I'm looking up information on the "tar" command in Unix, and the end 
of the man page says that a much more current manual should exist in 
the format of a Texinfo file.

So I tried "info -t tar | open -f -a Skim" to see if I could read in 
Skim as I have been doing with man files.

First I got an error about  -t.

When I left that out, I still got an error:
"The document "open_zMk2jzrQ.txt" could not be opened. Skim cannot 
open files in the "Notes as Text" format."

Then I realized I was barking up the wrong tree...


Now, I can see that Texinfo format files can be output as Postscript 
or pdf using texi2dvi or texi2pdf, but I'm not sure what the filename 
would be that I need to specify for the file that I read when I type 
"info tar".

Anyone willing to coach me here?  I think I'm getting close ;)

Bill
