[gnu.emacs.lisp.manual] elisp manual

liberte@M.CS.UIUC.EDU (Daniel LaLiberte) (04/21/89)

I have finished my editing work on the elisp manual.  It is now
in the hands of FSF.  I havent yet heard what their plans are
regarding the manual other than that they want print it soon.  I'll
post more on that when I hear.

On a.cs.uiuc.edu, in pub/gnuemacs/elisp, the version I last
worked on (early April) is in two forms: info form and 
source.  The info form is usable with the standard info package;
just copy the files elisp and elisp-* to your info directory and
add an entry to the "dir" file that looks like:

* Elisp: (elisp).       How to extend Emacs.

The source will be unusable to you since it requires a texinfo.tex
file that is not yet available.  But if you want to generate the
info files, you must use the texinfmt.el that is included.

Also in a subdirectory is the previous September 1988 version of
the manual, in a variety of formats.

The new version of the elisp reference manual, revised by FSF,
needs to be proofread before it is released.  If you would like to
volunteer to proofread a few chapters over the next week or so,
mail to me and I will tell you were to get the ftpable tar file.

   I don't know if it's too late, but we would like to proofread the
elisp manual (or sections thereof).
