| 7 | only those files needed for Minix. Don't use this as a basis for anything
|

|

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