You are totally right. The ideal thing would be that polygen with no arguments gives a list of what's around. However, I don't know if upstream is interested in that, as polygen is mainly used in their website which has a different grammar database than /usr/share/polygen. And I can't code it myself as I'm quite bad with ocaml :) The best option so far would be to auto-generate a polygen-data manpage with a list of what's available. I could do that at package build time using the metadata found in the grammar: that'd be fun, even! :) I could then link such a manpage from the polygen manpage. Do you like this option? See anything better? Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 1024D/797EBFAB 2000-12-05 Enrico Zini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
