Someone is working on a termcap based info reader. Last time I saw it it was a little buggy, but he hoped to finish it soon. There is an info browser for xwindows that also is a little buggy, but works fine for me. It was posted almost a year ago to comp.sources.x. If ther is enough demand I can place a copy on expo or prep.
