They are sitting in their own directory. I downloaded the Texinfo "Complete package, except sources" from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/texinfo.htm, but that produces only a bunch of documents, no executable. How do I read the manuals? Do I copy them to the emacs "info" subdirectory, and then "Browse manuals with info" from the "Help" menu? Is there a Texinfo reader somewhere? Regards, Bob
