10Doc
11---
12
13 The most uptodate doc of this package is the texinfo doc. Type 'make
14info' to get online info doc, and 'make dvi ; dvips mtools.dvi' to get
15a printed copy. The info doc has a concept index. Make use of it.
16 You may get an info copy using the following command 'make info'.
17This can then be viewed using emacs' info mode, or using a standalone
18info viewer.
19 Man pages are still present, but contain less information, and are
20less uptodate than the texinfo documentation.
21 If you do not have the necessary tools to view the texinfo doc, you
22may also find it on the Workd Wide Web at the following locations:
