Eli,

I was hoping (and still am) that I didn't need to build TeX as I am still
trying to work on the last 8 issues (now 9) with the pacakges built with CVS
LIBC. I  tried to build the docs on Win 98 box with TeX from simtel and I
got some warnings and it failed to make the docs. I even went back to 2.11
and tried to build the docs and couldn't. I wonder if this is because the
docs were built on a Unix box. Could soemone else please try to build the
Which 2.11 docs (html and PS docs, not info) and let me know how you went. I
have never tried to do this so it may be a setup issue at my end.

To produce the HTML docs, type "makeinfo --html -o which.html
which.texinfo".  The output from this was the same for both Win 98 and Win
XP:-
    DJGPP_204 D:\dj204\gnu\which-2.11\which211>makeinfo --html -o which.html
which.texinfo
    which.texinfo:78: warning: @menu seen before first @node, creating `Top'
node.
    which.texinfo:78: warning: perhaps your @top node should be wrapped in
@ifnottex
     rather than @ifinfo?.
    ./which.texinfo:78: Next field of node `Top' not pointed to.
    ./which.texinfo:120: This node (Option Summary) has the bad Prev.
    makeinfo: Removing output file `which.html' due to errors; use --force
to preserve.

To produce the DVI file, type "make which.dvi".  The output from Win 98 is:
    DJGPP_204 C:\dj204\gnu\which211>make which.dvi
    TEXINPUTS=.:$TEXINPUTS \
      MAKEINFO='makeinfo -I .' texi2dvi which.texinfo
    c:/dj204/bin/texi2dvi: Could not read $Revision:.
    c:/dj204/bin/texi2dvi: Could not read 1.10.
    c:/dj204/bin/texi2dvi: Could not read $.

To produce the PostScript version, say "make which.ps". The output from Win
98 failed as expected bacise there was no dvi file from the previous step.
The ouitput was:
    DJGPP_204 C:\dj204\gnu\which211>make which.ps
    TEXINPUTS=.:$TEXINPUTS \
      MAKEINFO='makeinfo -I .' texi2dvi which.texinfo
    c:/dj204/bin/texi2dvi: Could not read $Revision:.
    c:/dj204/bin/texi2dvi: Could not read 1.10.
    c:/dj204/bin/texi2dvi: Could not read $.
    dvips which.dvi -o which.ps
    dvipsk 5.66a Copyright 1986-97 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com)
    C:\DJ204\BIN/dvips.exe: ! DVI file `which.dvi' can't be opened.
    make.exe: *** [which.ps] Error 1

I have added Tex to the list issues to be checked out. Before I start to
buiild TeX I would like to see if somone else can get it to work with the
Which 2.11 package from Simtel.

Andrew
