I've written a program called texi2roff which will convert documents that
use TeXinfo to be printable with nroff or troff, using -ms, -me or -mm
macros.  It works just fine on the GNU emacs documentation.

texi2roff is available in the unix archives on simtel20 and has been
waiting to be posted on comp.sources.unix since August.  FSF will
probably include it on the next lot of GNU tapes.

If anyone needs texi2roff now, please email to me as evidence that you
are reachable and I will send it to you.  It will compile and run on any
flavour of unix and even msdos, but of course you need some kind of
nroff or troff to get much benefit from it.
