This directory contains documentation on the Texinfo system and the TeX sources needed to process Texinfo sources. We recommend using the texi2dvi included in the distribution to run a Texinfo manual through TeX to produce a DVI file. The .tex files are not installed automatically because TeX installations vary so widely. Installing them in the wrong place would give a false sense of security. So, you should simply cp *.tex to the appropriate place. If your installation follows the TeX Directory Structure standard (http://tug.org/tds/), this will be the directory <texmf>/tex/texinfo/ for texinfo.tex and <texmf>/tex/plain/dvips/ for epsf.tex. If you use the default installation paths, <texmf> will be /usr/local/share/texmf. On systems with TeX preinstalled, as most GNU/Linux distributions offer, <texmf> will often be something like /usr/share/texmf. It is also possible to put these .tex files in a `local' place instead of overwriting existing ones, but it is more complicated. See your TeX documentation in general and the texmf.cnf file in particular for information. If you add files to your TeX installations, not just replace existing ones, you very likely have to update your ls-R file; do this with the mktexlsr command. In older versions, this was named MakeTeXls-R. You can get the latest texinfo.tex from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo.tex (and all GNU mirrors) ftp://tug.org/tex/texinfo.tex (and all CTAN mirrors) or on the FSF machines in /home/gd/gnu/doc/texinfo.tex. If you have problems with the version in this distribution, please check for a newer version. epsf.tex comes with dvips distributions, and you may already have it installed. The version here is functionally identical but slightly nicer than the one in dvips574. The changes have been sent to the epsf.tex maintainer.
