Hello--

something seems seriously wrong with the info facility in emacs on my
machine: when I try to access (for example) the node for CVS, I get
"No such anchor in tag table or node in tag table: Top". However,
"info cvs" from the shell accesses the file. The directories that
contain info files (including that from CVS) are in my Info-directory
list.

Cheers

Tiarnan

I have the following entry in my dir file.

* CVS Manual: (cvs.info).  CVS Manual.

I have the files cvs.info and then cvs.info-1/9

I found the "." directly after the second ")" seemed important.

Also, of course, the filename between the ()'s needs to match the
first one in the hierarchy, exactly.
