[gnu.emacs.bug] texinfmt and gawk distribution

russo@chaos.utexas.edu (Tom Russo) (11/13/89)

I'm running Emacs 18.55 and trying to format the gawk texinfo file
using texinfo-format-buffer.  While the texinfo.tex file allows "tex
gawk" to process the file correctly, texinfo-format-buffer gags on the
following control sequences:

@syncodeindex
@ref
@dots{}

So, what is wrong?  How is one to make an info file out of this
texinfo file?  The gawk makefile wants to use a program called
makeinfo, which I cannot find anywhere in the FSF archives.  Am I
looking in the wrong places?  I've tried ftp from pub/gnu on
prep.ai.mit.edu, and don't see it there.

Thanks,
