README for Edition 1.0 of the Epoch Reference Manual

Daniel LaLiberte
20 July 1990

* This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Epoch Reference
Manual, permute-index, and the latest version of texinfo.tex,
which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of
texinfo.tex.  Also, it contains texindex.c and makeinfo.c.

* You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy
using TeX.  

** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use.  Otherwise,
here are detailed instructions:

** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this
manual is included in this distribution.

The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called
`epoch.texinfo'.  It contains @include commands to include all the
chapters that make up the manual.

To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following
commands in the shell:

% tex epoch.texinfo
% texindex epoch.??
% tex epoch.texinfo

*** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, set
permuted_index to 1 in the Makefile and run 'make epoch.dvi' with GNU make.

** INFO: A copy of makeinfo.c that will format this manual for Info is
included in this distribution.  This program is written in C and can
be used separately from Emacs.  `makeinfo' produces much better error
messages than the old `texinfo-format-buffer'.  You can run `makeinfo'
it on the `epoch.texinfo' file.
