Thanks for taking the time to look at it, and helping us find a workaround at least. > You are welcome to post source texi files if you want help in fixing > makeinfo errors. This is part of an automated conversion from LaTeX to Texinfo, and makeinfo is still giving me lots of errors, so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised to find erroneous output. Maybe if we're still having trouble as we get those makeinfo errors cleared away, we'll do something like that. Thanks again, -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
