To echo Ted, I hate info.  If I really have to look in there I use
`less *.info*' coupled with less's features like `/*' to search through
all files.

It's the worst mainstream thing to come out of the otherwise excellent
GNU camp IMHO.

Having groff's documentation solely in groff would be an excellent
showcase of its abilities too.

Cheers,


Ralph.
