[gnu.emacs] @Arrow sequence in Emacs Lisp Manual

jkh@meepmeep.pcs.com (Jordan K. Hubbard) (08/31/89)

I am trying to print the Emacs Lisp manual with TeX82 and am having
a hard time. It complains a lot about "Overfull \hbox (nn.nnnnpt too
wide) and chokes on:

! Undefined control sequence.
l.309      @Arrow
                  20        ;For 20:  00000000 00000000 00010100

In a *lot* of places. I'm using the texinfo.tex macro file from the
emacs/man directory, but is there something else I'm missing?

Thanks.

The "Overfull \hbox..." stuff is just TeX complaining about paragraphs that
it could not format to suit its high standards. This results in lines
sticking slightly out of the right margin. The reason TeX chokes on
@Arrow is that the manual uses a new texinfo.tex macro set that hasn't
been released yet, at least to my knowledge.
