RE: GSYSMS FILE

[Vijay, Arjun]

If I exclude GSYSMS,  will this affect the search capabilities in my HTML
docs?

Currently, htags(1) needs GSYMS.

        % htags -f
        htags: -f option needs GSYMS. Please make it.
        % _

If you find the reason then please tell me it. It will become big help for
me.

If you cannot make GSYMS then you can take following workaround.

        % cp /dev/null GSYMS
        % htags -f
        % _

I'll modify htags so that it can continue the job even if GSYMS doesn't
exist.
