I am considering the use of the texinfo format defined by Emacs for the online
(and offline) documentation of a software system we are currently developping.
 
Therefore I am interested in software that:
1. Allows viewing of the info file generated from the texinfo file.
2. Is independent from the emacs info hierarchy, i.e. the info file
   need not be incorparated in it.
3. Is a stand-alone program and can run independently of Emacs.
4. Has a nice X-based user-interface.
5. Is in the public domain.
6. Is portable.

Any pointers (also to other "hypertext" systems which satisfy the above
requirements) are appreciated.
