Nope, the macros are in texinfo.tex.  texinfo.texinfo is documentation
on texinfo, written in texinfo.  It was named .texinfo because the
name texinfo.tex was already taken, by the macros themselves.

   In order to generate a hardcopy of the manual, place emacs.tex and
   texinfo.texinfo into your default directory.  

You'll need emacs.tex and texinfo.tex.  If you want to print the
texinfo documentation, you'll need texinfo.texinfo, which also invokes
macros found in texinfo.tex.

   It is a lot less bother and cheaper, in the long run, to send FSF
   $15 for a bound copy, or $60 for a box of 6 bound copies.

You'll need to decide for yourself whether it's more bother to
generate a check and await delivery, or do it yourself in about five
minutes using local resources (paper, CPU cycles, etc.)  Also, buying
manuals or ordering tapes have been found to be convenient ways for
some folks in some organizations to get their organizations to write a
check to FSF, explicitly supporting their work without having to
explain the politics to the higher-ups.  Your choice...
