We recommend using the +texi2dvi included in this distribution 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://tug.org/tds/), this will be the directory +TEXMF/tex/texinfo/ for texinfo.tex, TEXMF/tex/generic/dvips/ for epsf.tex, +and TEXMF/pdftex/plain/misc for pdfcolor.tex. If you use the default +installation paths, TEXMF will be /usr/local/share/texmf. On systems +with TeX preinstalled, as most GNU/Linux distributions offer, TEXMF +will often be something like /usr/share/texmf. + +It is also possible to put these .tex files in a `local' place instead +of overwriting existing ones, but this is more complicated. See your TeX +documentation in general and the texmf.cnf file in particular for information. + +If you add files to your TeX installations, not just replace existing +ones, you very likely have to update your ls-R file; do this with the +mktexlsr command. In older versions, this was named MakeTeXls-R. + +You can get the latest texinfo.tex from +ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo.tex (and all GNU mirrors) +ftp://tug.org/tex/texinfo.tex (and all CTAN mirrors) +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. |
