I don't see any problem in principle, except that the rendering engine of the Info reader will have to be redesigned to work on output from some external program that delivers small portions of the displayed text, instead of loading the entire file into memory and working from there. We will also have to design some protocol between the local and remote parts, or teach Info to use some existing protocol, to pass requests to the remote. _______________________________________________ Texinfo home page: http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/ texinfo-pretest@texinfo.org http://ff0.org/mailman/listinfo/texinfo-pretest
