Generating the info-files under zsh

Generating the info-files under zsh

[Andrew Eskilsson]

When browsing the gnus info-files, and jumping into the Index section
I see:

zsh: unmatched '
zsh: command not found: ChangeLog
zsh: command not found: ChangeLog
zsh: command not found: ChangeLog
.
.

Yep I have zsh as login-shell, and are there any1 else out there with
the same problems, or have I done something wrong as usual?

As usual it was me, I have to switch binary for my shell when logging
onto a solaris machine, and this is done in my .zshenv file through an
exec command, probably loosing some informatin at the same time. 

Any hints for some other way is welcome.

unfortunately I can't reproduce this problem, and yes I'm running zsh on
linux 1.3.20 kernal (ELF platform).  i do know there are a couple of nodes
missing here and there.  possible info file corruption?

I too have zsh as a login shell, but I'm having more trouble with Perl
(texi2html).  The (September) Gnus info files have been bad for a long
time.  The current problem is with the ``A Programmer's Guide to
Gnus'' node.

This node is a problem in Info as well, I can't select it from the menu, but I
can select the next one and then go to the previous.  In various places it
shows up as "A Programmer@'s" or "A Programmer's" Guide, and in the printed
version there's an grave accent on the s.

I've now fixed the latter typo -- but I don't know what to do about
the former problem.  Does that mean that "'" is an illegal character
in node names?
