The following command works for me most of the time:

$ surf file:///usr/share/doc/allegro-devel-4.2.2/html/index.html

I am using Fedora 12 AMD64 with the surf-0.3-2 RPM installed.
(allegro-devel is also installed.)

Sometimes, surf crashes immediately after displaying that page; I have
no idea why, and F12 discarded the core dumps.
