- I have the GNUinfo package for OS/2. I've run MAKEINFO to create a ?.info
- file and have read the Info info file (without benefit of info, naturally)
- trying to figure out how to create the "dir" file. The topics on "dir" in
- info info all assume that you already have a "dir" file and just want to add
- a new info database. I've tried editing a new file to look like the example
- lines in info info and I've named the file various things like "dir",
- "dir.info", "info.dir", etc. I've tried putting the file in different places
- and overriding file locations with the INFOPATH environment variable. All to
- no avail. Every time I start INFO, I get a message that entry "Top" was not
- found in "dir" followed by another message that "dir" wasn't found in the path
- defaulted or specified by INFOPATH.
-
- Having given this a fair amount of effort, I'm forced to ask: what am I
- missing? How do I get the "dir" file? What is the proper name for the "dir"
- file?
