| 7 | Doc |
| 8 | --- |
| 9 | |
| 10 | The most uptodate doc of this package is the texinfo doc. Type 'make |
| 11 | info' to get online info doc, and 'make dvi ; dvips mtools.dvi' to get |
| 12 | a printed copy. The info doc has a concept index. Make use of it. |
| 13 | You may get an info copy using the following command 'make info'. |
| 14 | This can then be viewed using emacs' info mode, or using a standalone |
| 15 | info viewer. |
| 16 | Man pages are still present, but contain less information. |
| 17 | If you do not have the necessary tools to view the texinfo doc, you |
| 18 | may also find it on the World Wide Web at the following locations: |
