(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. |
