Sure, just get texi2roff from prep, install it and type: texi2roff -ms filename.textinfo | nroff -ms - | less However, this process is very slow, and you may wish to convert the files to text once and read the text directly. I suspect there is a way to do this directly with the TeX package, but it is much larger than text2roff, and I did not have the time to install it to find out. -David- > > >-- > >Andy Edwards * Computer Science Dept. * Iowa State University * Ames, IA 50011 >INTERNET: jae@iastate.edu PHONE: (515) 294-4377 >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > david@wubios.wustl.edu ^ Mr. David J.
