Hello,

The file info.tar contains a collection of info files for reading with
GNU emacs.

It is compiled for users of the slackware Linux distribution which
does not contain other info files than those that come with the emacs
package. Since 99% of the material is not linux specific, it can be
useful on any other system however.

The archive contains only compressed data. That's why it is not
compressed itself.

All files in the archive have the path-name /usr/info in front of
them. Such that if you unpack it in / the files will be located
correctly.

Caution:
========
If you have the SLS T-series of disks installed, please delete the
file info.elc that is located where the auc-tex-stuff is. This is an
old version of the info mode that doesn't work with emacs-19.

Please let me know, if you know more or newer interesting files to
add! Thank you.
