>=3B Regarding these rules=2C I have a dif= ferent question: how likely/common is
>=3B it for people to find *.inf= o file and to use install-info on them?

Well just to give some examp= les=2C I have downloaded the info file of Bash and that of Texinfo on my ma= chine and I have installed them with install-info by hand. I also installed= all the manuals that were coming with the MinGW tool-chain with install-in= fo. I am also writing myself 3 manuals for emacs extension packages (one is= for emacs-template which is still under discussion with Christoph Wedler= =2C and the two other are for extension packages I am developping myself)= =2C and I had also to install them with install-info.

I recognize th= at it is not that often=2C but it happens...

>=3B Then the next qu= estion is: what is the shape of the most common way to
>=3B use instal= l-info on such files?
>=3B
>=3B

There are a number of op= tions to call install-info=2C like for any other commands. But this is also= true for any of the commands that are invoked by means of the dired-x defa= ult shell guess. I think that the shape

 =3B =3B =3B in= stall-info file.info dir

is the most common... but you should cross = check this with Karl Berry...
