I can't answer that, but the URL manual may not be in a sufficiently useful state to get installed -- as in installed for users, rather than in CVS. It's a long time since I did anything with it, but if I remember correctly, it's mostly placeholders unless someone has worked on it since. > Two @xref's to emacs-mime need to be replaced with @inforef's or we > get, in the hardcopy output: > > See [(emacs-mime)Top], page . It shouldn't be replaced, according to my reading of the Texinfo manual; there clearly could be a printed copy of the MIME manual if there's one for URL. I think the xrefs just need fixing. I probably wrote them, and I suspect it wasn't clear how to fill in all the fields. I suspect there were incompatible versions of emacs-mime.texi around at the time. By the way, I think that the emacs-mime manual to which it refers needs work. If I remember correctly, it mixes up library and user-level features, and doesn't document some of the features that URL, for instance, needs.
