I'll send you the files off-list although I've now had a little more luck. First, a little more background. There are two "manuals" I'm trying to convert: the Cygwin User's Guide, and the Cygwin API Reference. The User's Guide is what I've been concentrating on, but I thought I'd give the API ref a try. I edited the file to remove the © HTML code (what's that doing there?) and ran docbook2texi -u on it. For some reason this produced a texinfo file named "api.html". makeinfo gave less than a page of errors! After hand-editing a couple of the preamble lines it actually creates a usable info file! No such luck with the ug.sgml, but at least I think I'm on the right track. Thanks again for the ideas and help. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
