I wouldn't have classed this as a specialist need. Presumably the whole point of the dist target is to send individual components to sites which do not have the whole collection (and thus may not have htx) installed. So how are poeple receiving these distributions going to link the docs? If it's appropriate for AST then I would have thought it's appropriate for the "dist" target of all components. David
