-Getting Started with Texinfo
-============================
-
-"Texinfo" is a documentation system that uses a single source file to
-produce both on-line information and printed output.  Using Texinfo,
-you can create a printed document with the normal features of a book,
-including chapters, sections, cross references, and indices.  From the
-same Texinfo source file, you can create a menu-driven, on-line Info
-file with nodes, menus, cross references, and indices.
-  
-The name of the Texinfo source documentation file is `texinfo.txi'.
-You can produce both on-line information and printed output from this
-source file.  The documentation describes Texinfo in detail, including
-how to write Texinfo files, how to format them for both hard copy and
-Info, and how to install Info files.
-
-To get started, you need to create either a printed manual or an
-on-line Info file from the `texinfo.txi' file.  You do not need to
-create both, although you will probably want both eventually.
-
-To learn how to use Info, read the info documentation.  You can do this in
-one of two ways: using the standalone `info' program, or using Info mode in
-GNU Emacs.
-
-  * If you want to use the `info' program, run
-
-         info -f info-stnd
-
-  * If you want to use Emacs, start up emacs and type `C-h i' [M-x info].
-    Follow the instructions to learn how to use Info.
-
-After learning how to use Info, you can read the Texinfo documentation.
-Using the standalone `info', type the following at the shell prompt:
-
-         info -f texinfo
-
-To use read this manual in Emacs, you first need to edit the Info-directory
-menu (the file `dir' in the system info directory) to contain the
-appropriate node.  To learn how to do this, see node: Add in the Info
-documentation.
-
-The Texinfo documentation describes Texinfo in detail; among other things,
-it tells how to install Info files in the usual manner.  (See node: Install
-an Info File.)
-
-The `info-stnd.info' file describes the standalone Info reader in detail.  To
-read this file, type
-
-         $ info -f info-stnd
-
-
-To create a printed manual
-==========================
-
-You need:
-
-  * The `tex' program, which typesets the manual using TeX.
-  * The `texinfo.tex' definition file that tells TeX how to typeset
-    a Texinfo file.
-  * The `texindex' program, which sorts the unsorted index files
-    created by TeX.
-  * A printing program such as `lp' or `lpr',
-  * A printer.
-
-This Texinfo distribution package contains all the Texinfo tools.  The
-`tex' program is not part of this distribution, but is available
-separately.  (See `How to Obtain TeX' in the Texinfo documentation.)
-
-  * Install `tex'.  (`texindex' is installed automagically by 
-    `make install' in this distribution.)
-
-  * Move the `texinfo.tex' file to an appropriate directory; the current
-    directory will do.  (See ``Preparing to Use TeX'' in the Texinfo
-    manual, for more information.)
-
-After following those instructions, type the following to make the .dvi
-files:
-      $ (cd doc; make dvi)
-
-You can then print the resulting .dvi files with the `lpr' or `lp'
-commands, or maybe `dvips' or `dvipdf' or `dvipdfm' to produce
-PostScript or PDF.  Or you can use `make pdf' to make a PDF file.
-
-For example, the command to print the texinfo.dvi file might be:
-
-      $ lpr -d texinfo.dvi
-
-The name of the printing command depends on the system; `lpr -d' is
-common but not guaranteed to work.
-
-Please report bugs to address@hidden
-
-Happy formatting.
