Date: Thu, 10 Feb 94 15:21:07 JST From: Stephen Turnbull To: hodder AT geop DOT ubc DOT ca Cc: djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu Subject: TeXInfo I don't use info, I use emacs's info reader. But probably it's the same. You need a file called dir which lives in whatever directory info searches. This file should look something like the following (the ^_ in line 5 should be control-underscore, but I replaced it with text.) ************ begin: this line is not part of the dir file ****************** -*- Text -*- This is the file .../info/dir, which contains the topmost node of the Info hierarchy. The first time you invoke Info you start off looking at that node, which is (dir)Top. ^_ File: dir Node: Top This is the top of the INFO tree This (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics. Typing "d" returns here, "q" exits, "?" lists all INFO commands, "h" gives a primer for first-timers, "mTexinfo" visits Texinfo topic, etc. --- PLEASE ADD DOCUMENTATION TO THIS TREE. (See INFO topic first.) --- * Menu: The list of major topics begins on the next line. * Info: (info). Documentation browsing system. * Emacs: (emacs). The extensible self-documenting text editor. * Nemacs: (nemacs). Japanese version of Emacs. * VIP: (vip). A VI-emulation for Emacs. * GDB: (gdb). The source-level C debugger. * Texinfo: (texinfo). With one source file, make either a printed manual (through TeX) or an Info file (through texinfo). Full documentation in this menu item. * Termcap: (termcap). The termcap library, which enables application programs to handle all types of character-display terminals. ************ end: this line is not part of the dir file ****************** Of course, it should be fixed to reflect the info files you have installed. Hope this helps. --Steve
