If we're talking about the Info dir file. On my system (debian) it's kind of `half alphabetical' -- that is, there will be a bunch of entries in alphabetical order, and then _another_ group in alphabetical order, and ... (these `groups' I'm referring to are not the topical sections, just runs of entries). THis may be because debian's install-info doesn't do any ordering though, I'm not sure. BTW, does anyone know if debian's _really_ going to start using the standard install-info? -Miles -- P.S. All information contained in the above letter is false, for reasons of military security.
