- Since you have access to a unix machine, do you have the tex system
- installed on it? TexInfo files (.texi) can be formatted into .dvi
- files using the tex package and the texinfo include file (which is
- ftp-able from most gnu sites if you don't have it already). The dvi
- file can be formatted into most printer formats. There also exists a
- program to convert dvi files into ASCII text (dvitty), although you
- lose all formatting.
-
- TexInfo files may also be turned into .info hypertext documents for
- the Gnu-Emacs info system using the makeini program (also available
- from Gnu sites) or using the texinfo-format-buffer command of
- Gnu-Emacs. Note that some emacs installations aren't up to the
- current patch level for texinfo formatting.
-
- I believe there also exists the documentation in text form at
- ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. Look for gcc21txt.zoo in the /pub/os2/2.0/gnu/gcc21
- directory.
