I got the following package from mit some time ago but I
have been too busy to test it.

TI README file
----------------------------------------------------------------------
TI is a browser for texinfo files.  Texinfo is a document format which
can be fed through TeX to produce hardcopy, or can be browsed as
a hierarchical document.  The format was developed by the Free Software
Foundation, and you can find out more about it by typing M-x info in
GnuEmacs.

This browser reads in unprocessed texinfo files and displays them in the
appropriate type faces and sizes.  There are buttons for the next and
previous nodes, and a button to go up one level.  As in the text-based
Emacs texinfo mode, the keys N, P and U do the same thing.  Cross
references appear as a special arrow symbol.  Clicking on the arrow
follows the cross-reference.  Typing the I key pops up the index, and
clicking on any entry in it takes you to the appropriate node.

TI is a small application wrapped around what is more or less a widget
for texinfo browsing.  The widget still needs to be cleaned up and
documented.  There are still some segmentation violations in the code.

Invoke TI with the name of a texinfo file as the argument.  A sample
file, cpp.texinfo is included with the source code.  It is the
documentation on the C pre-processor that is part of teh GNU CC
distribution.
