-<para>The install-info program updates the info entries. When the info
-program is run, a list with available topics (ie: available info documents)
-will be presented. The install-info program is used to maintain this list of
-available topics. If info files are removed manually, you must also delete
-the topic in the index file. This program is used for
-that. It also works the other way around when info documents are 
-added.</para></sect4>
