What's a makeinfo? and how do I format the info pages? M-x texinfo-format-buffer doesn't do it. -- rich.

M-x texinfo-format-buffer doesn't do it. -- rich. I'm sorry I didn't answer this right away, it got lost in old mail. `makeinfo' is the standalone texinfo->info formatter written in C. This program has a companion, `info' which is (yup, you guessed it) the standalone info reader written in C. The manual (such as it is) will be formattable by both M-x texinfo-format-buffer and makeinfo in release 1.00. makeinfo.c and info.c are not yet available from prep, which is an oversight on the part of myself and others. In less than a month it will be available for anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu. Brian Fox
