That's right.

The easiest (for me) is just to create "dir" files from a command-line
with install-info:

  $ install-info /usr/info/as.info /tmp/dir

on my machine will create a dir file in /tmp with a link to the GNU
assembler.

The command install-info is documented in the texinfo documentation in
the node (texinfo)Invoking install-info.


Hope this helps, benny
