Well, if you can make a patch for the texdoc .dat file, I can install it :).

I fear that, unlike texdoctk, texdoc simply uses ls-R as a database.

Thomas recently mentioned that one can define aliases, but I think that it is best if the authors provide fixes.

It may be best, but is it practical? Will aliases help when you have dozens of manual.pdf files?

I suspect it is much easier to make changes in texdoc to support "package/manual". On systems that support symlinks one could process the doc tree to make package/manual.pdf -> package/package.pdf.

And how you want to solve the problem of several documentation files? One symlink can point to just *one* file. Yours sincerely Heiko
