I saw it; I wasn't horribly enamored of the idea of info files at all,
having hacked help files on VMS for far too long in my miguided youth.

I thought everything was going into the "lindoc" or whatever it was
SGML DTD, and that info was an output of a postprocesser for this (just
like HTML can be).

Personally, I'll be using the HTML target and browsing with NetScape,
if it's all the same.
