In a recent attempt to investigate auc-tex, I obtained the distribution
from Aarhus, and followed instructions to the best of my ability.


1) Problems arose with the first make, where the following was
attempted:

    makeinfo auc-tex.texi

While makeinfo might be a useful tool to have, it didn't come with my
distribution of SCO Unix.  What is makeinfo, and where do I get it?

2) After making up a harmless makeinfo (a bash script which did
nothing), I was able to get a little further, then in an attempt to use
flex I got:

   flex -8  lacheck.lex
   flex: unknown flag 8

Now, I'm using a version of flex I got from FSF within the last couple
of years -- do I need to update my flex, or what?  Upon removal of the
offending -8 option, my flex reported: 

   flex lacheck.lex
   NULL in input

I've heard lots of nice words about auc-tex, but I've not had a great
deal of success in using it myself.  Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
