TI README file ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TI is a browser for texinfo files. Texinfo is a document format which can be fed through TeX to produce hardcopy, or can be browsed as a hierarchical document. The format was developed by the Free Software Foundation, and you can find out more about it by typing M-x info in GnuEmacs. This browser reads in unprocessed texinfo files and displays them in the appropriate type faces and sizes. There are buttons for the next and previous nodes, and a button to go up one level. As in the text-based Emacs texinfo mode, the keys N, P and U do the same thing. Cross references appear as a special arrow symbol. Clicking on the arrow follows the cross-reference. Typing the I key pops up the index, and clicking on any entry in it takes you to the appropriate node. TI is a small application wrapped around what is more or less a widget for texinfo browsing. The widget still needs to be cleaned up and documented. There are still some segmentation violations in the code. Invoke TI with the name of a texinfo file as the argument. A sample file, cpp.texinfo is included with the source code. It is the documentation on the C pre-processor that is part of teh GNU CC distribution.
