Re: [Crystal-cvs] SF.net SVN: crystal:[38108] CS/trunk/docs/texinfo/build

Hey Eric,

>From what I see this section already exists in the manual pages: it has
been added there in r38072 by Christian (kickvb).
I reverted my changes to the manual (r38120) and restored the bundle flag
(r38119).

Cheers,
Alex.
