> Uhh, GUIDELINES was for porters, not users...so this system is not > going to "replace" it.... You misunderstand me. If you're going to go to a "meta README" deal, then you're going to have a chance to do more than talk about invoking rules like `info' (and `build' and `install', please!), you'll be able to point to the URL of the ports guidelines section of the handbook. Those so inclined can follow it. Problem solved. In fact, while we're at it, why not also do the README in HTML? It'd still be human readable if you were careful about imbeding the formatting statements unobtrusively (no AREFs in the middle of paragraphs, just down in a summary bar on the bottom of the page). Then we can automate a little CGI tree-walker for the ports directly from the web. Jordan
