Archive-name: auto/comp.os.os2.programmer/EMX-Manual

After some work, I have converted the develop.doc file which accompanies
the EMX distribution into a Texinfo document; that's right, one document
which produces a nice TeX formatted manual AND .info files for use with
Emacs.

Now for the bad news: The C Library documentation is still sketchy (that
part, while prettier to look at, was lifted whole-cloth from the
develop.doc), the info files require the newest version of Makeinfo (Emacs
cannot compile them internally; I followed the v2 documentation and some of
the features are not yet supported) and you need a very current version of
texinfo.tex (2.991 works and comes with the Makeinfo port for OS/2).

The files are available for anon ftp from ftp.cs.unc.edu in the /pub/ladd
directory:

        File            Description
        emxdvi.zoo      DVI version of printed manual, zoo 2.1
        emxinfo.zoo     .info files for use with Emacs, zoo 2.1
        emxtexi.zoo     The source Texinfo file, zoo 2.1

If there are any problems, corrections, or additions you would like to
volunteer, I am more than happy to accept them; my next goal in the
documentation is a tutorial on PM programming with EMX and some interest
has been expressed in filling in the gaps in the C Library documentation
(and then there is the PM API docs :->), but the school year has begun
again, so progress may be a little slow.
