I first encountered install-info around 1996 (the man page is dated 1994) as a Perl script written by Ian Jackson, as I wrote earlier. ... I do not know who wrote install-info first. However, two different programs of the same name were written. Each solved the problem, but worked differently.... :-( In the past, I had some problems when I both built my own programs from scratch and used Debian programs. The conflicts meant that I could not install Debian programs. I have not had such problems in the past couple of years. :-) Either the two programs now work together or one has been dropped or I have not excited the conflict. -- Robert J.
