If the user wants to use a browser of his choice in combination with
"info2www", he is only forced to install a httpd. As there are very small
httpd's out there (which can be restricted to the local machine), there is
no problem with this.
If he does not want to install a httpd, he can still use (is restricted
to) lynx. That's what I wanted to say.

Yes, it is really nice. But as you said

in your previous mail I thought you want to provide the same information
in two different formats. But this takes up ~ 10MB disk space and
therefore my wish is to avoid "wasting" so much space.
