We are currently attempting to utilize as many GNU products as we can. We are 
having one major set back though. We are having a great amount of difficulty 
printing out the manuals. They are in .texinfo format?  The only manual we have 
is for emacs which suggest getting the TeX processor. This processor will not
correctly compile on the Sun under 4.1.1. If it is run here are the results:

grc-day% initex
This is TeX, C Version 3.0 (INITEX)
**texinfo.tex
(texinfo.tex)
Runaway definition?
{2.1} \message {Loading texinfo package [Version \texinfoversion ]:} \ETC.
! File ended while scanning definition of \texinfoversion.
<inserted text>
                }
<*> texinfo.tex

?
! Missing { inserted.
<inserted text> }

<*> texinfo.tex

?


if it continues it only aborts. This is very frustrating since the staff is 
anxious to use your products but cannot because of a lack of available manuals. 
Please tell me either where I can look for information or a procedure to 
get a manual printed off. We plan to use GNU quite a bit, so this information will be very helpfull.


			Thank you for your time.
