Hi all,

I have a working hyperspec lookup mechanism for vim.
It's based on info.

First I tried to create the info files by dpans2texi
(http://whome.phys.au.dk/~harder/dpans.html) directly
from the common lisp standard. But these info files
seem not to work properly in conjunction with vim.
Perhaps I'm missing something.

Then I tried the info files from ftp://ftp.ma.utexas.edu/pub/gcl/gcl-info+texi.tgz.
They work like expected, but I don't know the legal state of these files.

HowTo:
======

- get info files from ftp://ftp.ma.utexas.edu/pub/gcl/gcl-info+texi.tgz
- copy gcl.info* in a directory of $INFOPATH
- get info.vim from http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=21
- add "map <F12> :exec("Info gcl " . expand("<cword>"))<CR>" to your vimrc
- Enjoy

Now when pressing F12, the word under the cursor will be lookuped.

Daniel
