Let's please first turn our attention to proposals that do not require changes in install-info. Only if we cannot get that to work should we turn our attention to other solutions. > However, this comparison might be valid in the case of commands, > because many manuals might define at least one command. So in the > case of commands we might want to put the command names into the > special node of `dir'. Doesn't this require changes in install-info I don't see why. I proposed one method which gets the job done without any changes in install-info.
