-
- texinfo files for GNU utilities are supplied along with the source
- code in the ...tar.Z files distributed from prep.ai.mit.edu and other
- sites. You can process them and read them interactively by using emacs,
- or by using utilities contained in texinfo-2.15.tar.Z.

-
- You will need the file texinfo.tex, tex itself, and some utility such as
- dvi2ps to convert dvi files (produced by tex) into postscript files.
