34 Notes on validation: The validate_info_seg vis command validates the
35 syntax of an info segment. For a description of info segment format,
36 type "help info_seg.gi". Error messages printed by vis are of four
37 severities:
38 Severity 4 -- bad errors precluding installation
39 Severity 3 -- less important errors
40 Severity 2 -- even less important errors
41 Severity 1 -- just warnings, such as the existence of
42 nonstandard section headings.
