(Did someone see what do @ifnothtml > and @ifnottex do in texi2html?) On this, the texi to html converter and web page process does need an update .... The update is needed because I need to get a ``(C) FSF yada yada yada'' appended to the bottom of all the generated pages. This is to bring those pages into line with current FSF web page policy. I also wouldn't mind changing how/where the pages get installed but that is a separate problem. I do have reservations over using a non-released version of makeinfo. enjoy, Andrew
