Unless he wants to use the help sytem, which was my point.
Either we have a help system or we haven't. At the moment, we haven't. I'd
like to use it myself, but I don't want to install a useless gnome just
for that.

Fact is I haven't ever seen it on my machine. Maybe this has something to do
with the fact that I don't use gnome?
Sven, I know "we" would like to have an unbundled GtkXmhtml or even some
better solution. But we haven't, so we also haven't a help system.

Do you expect this to be solved before 1.2?

However, perl works on many _many_ more platforms than the help system,
which only works on a very limited number of systems.
