True enough. I think the pattern would probably be '^/star', though perhaps '^.*/star' would do better, in case someone chose to install it in /opt/starlink, say. >> If it were desirable to have all the SUNs in one place, then it would >> I'm sure be possible to fiddle it, and have links to per-component >> SUNs >> gathered together in one directory. > > It's historic having both the documentation in both a collection and in > per software item.

No, it would be orthogonal. Is that still open? My note to myself says `Malcolm says this does indeed do the trick', though I'm afraid I've forgotten just what `this' was.
