README revision 42660
1This directory contains documentation on the Texinfo system and the TeX 2sources needed to process Texinfo sources. (Use texi2dvi to run a 3Texinfo manual through TeX to produce a DVI file.) 4 5The .tex files are not installed automatically because TeX installations 6vary so widely. Installing them in the wrong place would give a false 7sense of security. So, you should simply cp *.tex to the appropriate 8place. If your installation follows the TeX Directory Structure 9standard (http://www.tug.org/tds/), this will be the directory 10<texmf>/tex/texinfo/ for texinfo.tex and <texmf>/tex/plain/dvips/ for 11epsf.tex. If you use the default installation paths, <texmf> will be 12/usr/local/share/texmf. If you have teTeX, you can find <texmf> by 13running: 14 texconfig confall | grep \^TEXMF= 15(The configure script tries to do this for you.) 16 17You can get the latest texinfo.tex from 18ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/texinfo.tex 19ftp://ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/texinfo.tex 20or on the FSF machines in /home/gd/gnu/doc/texinfo.tex. 21If you have problems with the version in this distribution, please check 22for a newer version. 23 24epsf.tex comes with dvips distributions, and you may already have it 25installed. The version here is functionally identical but slightly 26nicer than the one in dvips574. The changes have been sent to the 27epsf.tex maintainer. 28
