I translated the allegro docs to info format about a month ago, and sent
them to Shawn for
his perusal.  They had the basic menu, with links to all the chapters,
but there was no index,
and they were poorly formated (most of the example code got jumbled up
when texinfo messed
up the tabs).  I doubt Shawn ever formatted them, not because he's lazy
(he isn't), but because
he is very busy with other stuff.  I never did sit down and get them to
look right, so you'll have to
format them yourself, or put up with unindented example code.  

Ask Shawn to put the info files on his website, and if he can't or won't,
I'll e-mail you a UUE encoded
zip file.  (just a general pain when you have to break the file into 20k
chunks because Juno sucks.)
