Texinfo, Version 2.10
=====================

* This is a late beta test.  This version includes Brian Fox's latest
  fixes to makeinfo.c---this is the first update to makeinfo.c since
  June.

  Other changes are less significant.  

  `texnfo-tex.el' uses sentinels now and has a new function that to
  quit a currently running TeX job, by sending an `x' to it.  Also,
  runs `/bin/sh' so `explicit-shell-file-name' is not set globally

  `texinfo.el' makes `indent-tabs-mode' a local variable and set it to
  nil to prevent TABs troubles with TeX.

  `texinfmt.el' now looks handles Cambridge Univ. Press style
   dashes (like --- this) as well as Oxford Univ. style dashes
   (like--this).

  `texnfo-upd.el' and `texi2dvi' received bug fixes.

  `texinfo2.texi' somewhat improved.

* Please try this out and send me bug reports.

Bugs to bob@gnu.ai.mit.edu.  I maintain the Emacs Lisp files and the
manual.  I forward bug reports for info, makeinfo, and texindex to
bfox@gnu.ai.mit.edu, reports for texinfo.tex to rms@gnu.ai.mit.edu,
and reports for texi2dvi to roland@gnu.ai.mit.edu.

Use a command such as 'tar xvzf texinfo2.tar.Z' to uncompress and
extract the files.

This directory contains version 2 of the Texinfo package:

    texinfo2.texi            This is Edition 2 of the Texinfo Manual,
                                dated September 1991

    README                  This file
    Makefile                Create a compressed tar file of the package,
                                as distributed
    New-features            Summary of new features
    texinfo.tex             Definitions file used by Tex    
    texi2dvi                Shell script for producing indexed DVI files

    >texi2roff< to be added when new version is ready
                            Convert Texinfo file to [nt]roff form.

The `elisp' subdirectory contains Emacs lisp code:

    texinfo.el        Texinfo mode                    
    texnfo-upd.el     Texinfo node and menu updating  
    texinfmt.el       Emacs lisp Info formatting      
    makeinfo.el       Emacs interface to the `makeinfo' formatting program
    texnfo-tex.el     TeX and hardcopy printing       
    info.el           The standard Emacs Info files,  
    informat.el           included here for convenience.

All these files should be installed in the default load-path for Emacs;
otherwise Emacs will not be able to load the autoloaded support files,
such as `texinfmt.el'.  The `texinfo.el' file contains the autoload
commands; it is the only file that needs to be loaded initially.

The `C' subdirectory contains C code:

    makeinfo.c        `makeinfo' source
    info.c            `info' source
    getopt.c          support files
    getopt1.c
    getopt.h

    texindex.c        sort indices for TeX; included here for convenience

    configure         Create a Makefile which in turn creates an `info' or
                      `makeinfo' executable, or a C sources
                      distribution.

    Makefile.in       Template for `configure' to use to make a Makefile      
                               
                      (Run `configure' first, then `make' to compile
                      info and makeinfo.)

This separate Texinfo package is temporary; after a period of testing,
this documentation and software will be merged into the Emacs
distribution.  (But we may continue to distribute this in a 
separate package as well, for the convenience of those who just want
these files.)
