I have been given a copy of GNU Emacs and would LOVE to print out the
documentation. Unfortunately the instructions tell me to use TeX and
I don't have it. I can think of several options:
1. Get the tools necessary and learn how to use them (not bad)
2. Get the documents already formatted for HP Laserjet II and print them
myself (also not bad)
3. Get the documents already printed (not so good).
Can anyone help me, please?
Thank you.

I can think of several options: [ several plausible options deleted ] > -- > : Steven List @ Transact Software, Inc. > : {coherent,mips,satyr,ubvax}!mrspoc!itkin I've written a program called texi2roff which will convert documents that use TeXinfo to be printable with nroff or troff, using -ms, -me or -mm macros. It works just fine on the GNU emacs documentation. texi2roff is available in the unix archives on simtel20 and has been waiting to be posted on comp.sources.unix since August. FSF will probably include it on the next lot of GNU tapes. If anyone needs texi2roff now, please email to me as evidence that you are reachable and I will send it to you. It will compile and run on any flavour of unix and even msdos, but of course you need some kind of nroff or troff to get much benefit from it. --------------------- Beverly Erlebacher ...uunet!utai!utcsri!erlebach Computer Systems Research Institute erlebach@csri.toronto.edu University of Toronto Toronto, Ontario CANADA
