There is a file texinfo2.tar.Z on prep.ai.mit.edu which appeared yesterday (12 Feb 1991). This file contains not only the latest texinfo but also makeinfo, info, and a lot of emacs lisp code for dealing with it. An accompanying note (in texinfo2.README) says that all of this will eventually be put into the emacs distribution. Would it not be better to keep texinfo, info, and makeinfo separate? Emacs is huge because of the amount of stuff that comes with it, much of which would be better elsewhere. If nothing else, keeping texinfo separate would make it easier to keep it up to date; you wouldn't need a new emacs every time some change was made in texinfo or info. A. V.
