7Doc
8---
9
10 The most uptodate doc of this package is the texinfo doc. Type 'make
11info' to get online info doc, and 'make dvi ; dvips mtools.dvi' to get
12a printed copy.  The info doc has a concept index.  Make use of it.
13 You may get an info copy using the following command 'make info'.
14This can then be viewed using emacs' info mode, or using a standalone
15info viewer.
16 Man pages are still present, but contain less information.
17 If you do not have the necessary tools to view the texinfo doc, you
18may also find it on the World Wide Web at the following locations:
