Info files are produced by TeX from the same text that produces the manual and the info reader is a GNU program. Texinfo compiles in any UN*X compatible environment, providing a working termcap or terminfo interface for screen control; the messages about broken terminal control ceased some time ago on this mailing list. I personally NFS-map the Windows95 drive from a UN*X environment to read the info files, but it is not all people that are that awkward. :-) Regards Henrik Geleff > Date: Sun, 20 Apr 1997 11:46:38 -0600 > From: BERNIEGS > Reply-to: BERNIEGS@prodigy.net > Organization: Prodigy Internet > To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com > Subject: *.INFO Files in GNU-Win32 > I'm just getting started with GNU-Win32, and I noticed that much of the > really good documentation for it is in the form of .INFO or .INF files. > While I can read them (sort of) in a text file viewer, they appear to be > highly structured files, intended to be viewed with some specific > viewer. > > Can anyone tell me if there is a .INFO file viewer available for these > files, or where I might find some documentation on the file structure so > that I might write my own viewer? > > TIA. > -- > Bernie Schneider: berniegs@prodigy.net > ======================================================================== > The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed > by the tribe.
