I just did my first document using texinf, I then did one of
these numbers on it to get hard copy output:
 texi2roff -ms foo.texinfo | nroff -ms -Ttabx-ecs | lpr
However, the @table command did not give me 2 side by side
columns like it says in the texinfo documentation. Instead I
got the second column on the next line indented a good bit, could
it be the lines were too long?

Also, is there a way to indent a block of text like @itemize does
but without using some kind of leading character?

This is my break with microsoft word for doing documentation here 
at work.  What a revolutionary idea, 1 file to produce hard copy
and on-line hyper-text!

I've got Dave Gillespie's info and also infox.el.  Anyone else got
something useful along these lines?
