How about changing makeinfo to complain when the specified dircategory is not among the few standard ones ? BTW, looking at the TeXinfo doc I have it says: Here are some recommended `@dircategory' categories: GNU packages GNU programming tools GNU programming documentation GNU Emacs Lisp GNU libraries Linux TeX Individual utilities I suggest we change `Linux' to `GNU/Linux' and change `GNU Emacs Lisp' to `GNU Emacs' (or maybe `Emacs' which is what Emacs uses). Also I don't understand the difference between `GNU programming tools' and `GNU programming documentation'. Stefan
