i a few times heard there was and IS a long standing stand-off between 
info(1) and man(1) because man was copyright at least in part and 
further reasons that were not discussed.

remove the ability to look at existing info pages of say m4.info why?

replace it with what ?

i'm impartial.  i like both, made a manpage maker, would like a good 
info editor haven't come across yet.  coolman in nonfree, tkinfo is 
free. debian won't allow manpages on it's user groups

do you know anything about this standoff between the online page and 
online manual systems ?

are you saying that whatever microbsd prefers should be the base of bsd ?

is microbsd used by Apple or something ?
