     getversion and name-extract were in the earlier version of
jargsrc, which I had downloaded earlier.  jargon-web.txt is almost the
text file I am looking for.  I haven't located wraptext, but it may be
redundant now, since jargon-web.txt is properly wrapped.

     I find this creates j-web.xml as an identical copy of
jargon.xml, then hangs after creating a zero length "j.txt".

     Since I can modify jargon-web.txt to produce what I need for
dict-jargon, I think my original problem is solved.

     Is there any automated way to create an info file from a file like
jargon-web.txt?  xmlto doesn't seem to have an info script.

Bob
