That program was something like -my second Unix program ever, and my die-hard machine language coding habits -tended to show through.

It appears almost identical to the GNU Emacs version, but has -the advantages of smaller size, ease of portability, and a built in library -which can be used in other programs (to get or display documentation from -Info files, for example). - -A full listing of the commands available in Info can be gotten by typing -`?' while within an Info window. This produces a node in a window which -can be viewed just like any Info node. - ---Brian Fox <bfox@gnu.org> |
