Hi folks,
I'm having a little trouble with pinfo, it doesn't find all the info files
that "info" can.
Most of the info docs are stored in /usr/info. pinfo finds the files that
end .info and .info.gz, but quite a number, such as emacs' documentation,
simply end .gz.
So, `info emacs` works, but `pinfo emacs` fails with:
Caught signal 11, bye!
pinfo: crash with: No such file or directory
emacs.gz is a valid info document, and it's in a place where pinfo is looking,
but pinfo cannot see it.
How do I make pinfo see all the documentation, like info does? Is this a bug
in pinfo?
Cheers,
Steven
