I'm back in the office, and here's what is returned when I execute the command: ================================ $ V=1 make info make -C Documentation info make[1]: Entering directory `/local/software/git-1.6.5.7/Documentation' make -C ../ GIT-VERSION-FILE make[2]: Entering directory `/local/software/git-1.6.5.7' make[2]: `GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date. make[2]: Leaving directory `/local/software/git-1.6.5.7' rm -f user-manual.texi+ user-manual.texi && \ docbook2x-texi user-manual.xml --encoding=UTF-8 --to-stdout >user-manual.texi++ && \ /usr/bin/perl fix-texi.perl user-manual.texi+ && \ rm user-manual.texi++ && \ mv user-manual.texi+ user-manual.texi Usage: jw [] where are: -f|--frontend : Specify the frontend (source format) (default is docbook) -b|--backend : Specify the backend (destination format) (default is html) -c|--cat : Specify an extra SGML open catalog -n|--nostd: Do not use the standard SGML open catalogs -d|--dsl |default|none: Specify an alternate style sheet (default is to use the default stylesheet) -l|--dcl : Specify an alternate SGML declaration (usual ones like xml.dcl get detected automatically) -s|--sgmlbase : Change base directory for SGML distribution (usually /usr/share/sgml) -p|--parser : Specify the parser if several are installed (jade or openjade) -o|--output : Set output directory -u|--nochunks: Output only one big file (overrides the stylesheet settings) -i|--include
