The standalone info-reader - replacing the man command - is >apparantly almost ready for release. I suspect that not too many people use texinfo. But if you do, I have a first draft for what I call Infosim mode. This lets you read a texinfo file rather like an Info file. Info mode commands like `n' and `u' etc will work if point is at the upper left corner, and otherwise `C-c C-n' and `C-c C-u' etc will work, while the `n' and `u' etc will be self-insertion. infosim.el needs a lot of hacking before I'd consider it worth releasing, and I'm not going to hack on it except for my own needs. But what's there is pretty decent stuff. Send e-mail if interested--it's only 30K. > A fully-fledged GNU system might >not have man, nroff or troff at all...
