BTW, an excellently written summary. Thanks Simon. > Note that the GNU project does not disapprove of man pages; it's just > that many of their maintainers are too busy to maintain both man and > info documentation. Many GNU projects such as the GNU coreutils of fileutils, textutils, sh-utils, etc. are using help2man now which converts the --help output of a program into a manpage automatically. Assuming the program's --help output is kept up to date then a syntax guide man page is easily produced automatically. Then the more extensive info documentation can fill in the details and needs of being a user guide. Bob
