Do you need Gnu emacs? For that matter, how do you use them on Unix? Thanks. David Megginson -- //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// / David Megginson david@doe.utoronto.ca / / Centre for Medieval Studies meggin@vm.epas.utoronto.ca / //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// As some postings already mentioned, GNU EMACS is available for the Atari, which can than be used to format and view TeXinfo files. To produce a printed manual, you need TeX. If you are satisfied with on screen displaying, there exits two programs by Brian Fox, the author of BASH, called "info.c" and "makeinfo.c". "info.c" allows you view a TeXinfo file on screen and "makeinfo.c" is used to format the TeXinfo file into an info file. Both program compile without any problems on the ST using GCC 1.37.1. "info.c" requires some commenting of signal() stuff and a termcap entry. In "makeinfo.c" there is a constant hardwired to 4000, which causes the program to run out of memory on my ST. I changed it to 1000 and everything worked fine, that is, I could format a 98K TeXinfo file. Hope, that help. -- -- MfG/Regards /==== Nixdorf Computer AG / Ridderbusch,PXD-S4 / , Heinz Nixdorf Ring / /./ 4790 Paderborn, West Germany /=== /,== ,===/ /,==, // Tel.: (+49) 5251/104685 / // / / // / / \ NERV:ridderbusch.pad / / `==/\ / / / \ BIX:fridder BTX:0525467066 UUCP: !USA: ridderbusch.pad@nixdorf.de USA: ridderbusch.pad@nixdorf.com
