If I understand it correctly, at the moment we have the choice between 'incorrect data' and 'wrongly formatted' so I think I know which way I would lean towards :-/ The alternative, of course, is to go the simple route: rip most of the text out of gcc.1 and say 'use the info page for the latest information.' Otherwise I think we're kind of confusing the users. mcl
