I know of 4 alternatives to emacs for reading texinfo files. 3 are available on prep.ai.mit.edu. 1. Use the texinfo macros with TeX and just print the document. This is the alternative which requires software not on prep (as far as I know - you have to have TeX installed on your system). 2. Use texi2roff and convert the texinfo file to a nroff/troff version. 3. Use the info command to get a termcap/curses based interface to the texinfo files - limited hypertext online readable doc. 4. Use the xinfo command to get an X11 interface to many texinfo files. Xinfo is a bit out of date and won't read some texinfo files - I don't know if gawk is one of them. If it won't read gawk texinfo, perhaps someone out there who knows X11 would be kind enough to fix xinfo so that it can be used... -- Larry W.
