I've made a note to test the info reader for the next CD-ROM and make sure it works, assuming no gross problems. The info files that get installed right now just "come along for the ride", as a side effect of doing "make install" for each GNU utility built. > 4.

I'll ping Udo about this as well. Perhaps he can clarify the situation with respect to registering copies include on the CD-ROM. I've been coordinating with him on a new scheme for gathering and presenting information about material in the floppy library and on the CD-ROM's, using a new version of KingFisher, so I know he intends for this to be a useful tool for all CD-ROM users. > Thanks Fred!
