Hi, I hope you can help me. I am trying to get hold of a GNU emacs manual in Postscript format. Do you know of anyone that could supply this to me. I realise that the manual comes with the emacs distribution, but only in TeX format and I have no means of converting this in to postscript format (i.e I don't have TeX) Thankyou in anticipation.

Get tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/gnu/texi2roff/texi2roff.shar.Z or
osu-cis!~/gnu/texi2roff/texi2roff.shar.Z and use it to convert TeXinfo
sources into *roff sources. I've used it with groff to produce
PostScript, with pretty good results.ewoods@hemel.bull.co.uk (Eoin Woods) (02/04/91)

I've fought long and hard with texi2roff and never really got good *roff input (but then I don't have groff yet -- Maybe it knows :-). In the end, I downloaded a postscript format version from abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov 128.155.23.64 (in /pub/docs/) Eoin. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Eoin Woods, Software Development Group, Bull HN Information Systems, ~ ~ Maxted Road, Hemel Hempstead, Herts HP2 7DZ, UK. ~ ~ Tel : +44 442 232222 x4823 Fax : +44 442 234084 ~ ~ < Eoin.Woods@hemel.bull.co.uk or ...!uunet!ukc!brno!ewoods> ~ ~ < When do we start news group comp.os.emacs ? :-) > ~
