A copy of a working Emacs Info directory is now available for
anonymous FTP. This archive is on cs.umn.edu (128.101.224.1 for the
nameserver impaired) in the directory /pub/gnu/info. All of the major
GNU software is documented here, with (hopefully) the latest version
of the info file.
There are some info files that I have heard of that I have not
included, especially perl. If you know of where to get a hold of
this or any other info file, please let me know. I did not include
the info files from the tut archive at OSU, since most of them are of
historical interest only.
Please limit FTP'ing to off-peak hours, USA Central Time Zone (+6
GMT).
If you have any questions about this archive, please contact me:
David Zuhn, zuhn@cs.umn.edu or zoo@ai.mit.edu.
A copy of the dir file is appended to show what is in this archive:
