I find it more beautiful than useful, you can't search it from within a
text editor and is terribly slow to load on the computers I have at hand.

Not really relevant, but I suposed the .info format was for that. At
least rhide/setedit make an excellent use of the allegro info file.

Remember that using the -N switch of "cvs diff" will include new files
too, so you can avoid two separate files and have a single diff. I will
leave it in my low priority queue for now until I can test that devhelp
viewer. Anyway, what's the meaning of that http://alleg.sf.net/devhelp/
