Re: Bug#793067: Bug#792328: info: can no longer find the Emacs manual

    lots of mails here

Indeed.  I'm afraid I can't keep up, so after these short replies, I'm
bowing out of this thread.

    I still don't see why you are opposing
    the idea to have different versions of the same program installed,
    and wanting to be able to *check* all of them.

I don't oppose it.  I just proposed (part of) a way to do it.

    Change info reader node search method as follows:
    * if a node is going to be followed, first search *in*the*current*directory*
      for the respective info file, and if that fails search INFOPATH.

I don't oppose that either.  Sounds good to me.  (It seems orthogonal to
the dir file, which is ordinarily how users would see the different
available manuals, as far as I can imagine it.  Also orthogonal to the
question of external cross-references to unversioned manuals.  Anyway.)

Best,
Karl
