texinfo Documentation

``texinfo'' is a documentation system that uses a single source file to produce both on-line help (and other information) and a printed manual. This means that instead of writing two different documents, one providing on-line information and the other for a printed manual, only one source document is needed. Ready-to-Run Software delivers ``texinfo'' documentation in three formats.

.dvi	the texinfo documentation processed into ``printed manual'' form, in a .dvi format file. The .dvi file is placed in doc/$<$package_name$>$/$<$dvi_file$>$.
.ps	the texinfo documentation processed into ``printed manual'' form, in a .ps (PostScript) format file. The .ps file is placed in doc/$<$package_name$>$/$<$ps_file$>$.
.info	the texinfo documentation processed into ``on-line info'' form, in a series of .info files (which can be browsed on-line with the ``info'' utility or the emacs ``info'' command). The .info files are placed in lib/emacs/info/$<$info_files$>$. An info command is supplied by Ready-to-Run Software, Inc. for you to access the info files on-line.
