Hi Karl et al.
1. Some technical points:
- if you are now using the LaTeX document for future changes, you might
as well do some minor cleanups of unneccessary stuff introduced by
Norm's converter. In particular, I think you can remove all the
\protect's in front of \MF and \BibTeX since Joachim's macros from
tdsguide.cls take care of protecting them.
- concerning .info and .html versions: What about trying to convert
the LaTeX document to Texinfo with a simple sed-script or something
like that. I guess that would be much easier than trying to go the
way via SGML.
2. Concerning the contents:
I don't quite remember the outcome of our previous discussion about
this, but didn't we decide to move /tex/mft to the top-level.
I'm just asking this because I came across mft when trying to fix
the man pages in texk-6.94. (More on that in a separate message.)
If we do move the mft directory, now would be a good time to
introduce another search path variable for MFTINPUTS in kpathsea
before web2c-7.0/kpathsea-3.0 goes public. (If we move mft but
continue to use TEXINPUTS as the search path, one would have to
add texmf/mft to TEXINPUTS which really seems odd, especially
since TeX itself would never need to look into texmf/mft.
Cheers,
Ulrik.
