Sorry, but that is wrong. The texinfo-3.7.tar.gz contains texinfo version 2.151 (just taken from ftp.DANTE.de), the one in /djgpp/info is version 2.145 (unless this changed since Februaray). The old version works (kind of), the new one fails on the second run. The ``kind of'' means that identifiers (nodes, to be precise) starting with ``_'' yield the output in the main text _ strold bla bla instead of _strold bla bla xrefs, toc, etc. are ok. > 3) the texinfo docs that you want to TeX... > > As an example, take the texinfo.tex which comes in v2gnu/txi360b.zip > and the files for the cpp docs: v2gnu/gcc272s.zip:gnu/gcc-272/cpp.*. > Place all in a tmp dir, and then type tex cpp.tex (as with LaTeX docs, > repeat two more times to let > TeX place all the cross references as it should be).

For the emTeX users it is tex386 -mt14000 -ms 4000 libc and after one minute you have 504 pages of dvi. But we are getting slightly off-topic, and a friendly guru at umb.edu is having a look at this. -- Ciao Tom ************************************************************* * Thomas Demmer * * Lehrstuhl fuer Stroemungsmechanik * * Ruhr-Uni-Bochum * * Universitaetsstr. 150 * * D-44780 Bochum * * Tel: +49 234 700 6434 * * Fax: +49 234 709 4162 * * http://www.lstm.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/~demmer * *************************************************************
