Dan> But there's no mention of the VIP manual in the info reader.

Also, in the info reader's "File: emacs, Node: Emulation" there is the
same pointer to .../lisp/vip.el, ignoring the neighbouring info tree
all about VIP (rooted at File: vip, Node: Top).

(True, .../lisp/vip.el does mention the info reader manual, but some
space-tight administrators might have only left the .elc's and removed
the .el's)
