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