Amen, bro. As I said, it was not 'social compliant' which was really a not very nice thing to do. It's arrogant to say in effect "your way is wrong, I'm going to try to kill it off."

If you have something like perl that needs a zillion sub pages, info
makes sense. For just a man page, info is horrible.

I'm not even sure, I like that, to be honest. I'm 'old school' enough to rather use a book from ORA or the like.
