Minfo is a graphical info reader built on Motif and has a Mosaic-like interface. Much faster than tkInfo, but not quite as many features.

The documentation provided with the free programs from the GNU suite is using the TeX typesetting system to generate:

* On screen readable/brows-able info files, which are plain ASCII. This is where all the indirection information for hyper links goes in.

* __Very__ nice looking output ready for paper publication, which is missing all the cross links and indirection facilies.

This documentation proved during my programming practice to be extraordinary usefull! Therefore I feeled a strong desire to have a nice browser for it.

Yes I know: They are already several of them: one special "editing" mode for the emacs, one stand-alone terminal oriented application called info, and last *but* least the compleatly useless xinfo.

Requirements:
Motif
