Hello,
  We would very much like a copy of the GNU Emacs Lisp manual.
We ftp'ed the tar file from ~ftp/pub/gnuemacs/elisp on
a.cs.uiuc.edu , uncompressed and untar'ed it, and tried to
format the manual. However, we keep getting Tex errors and
are unable to generate a formatted copy. Perhaps there was 
a problem with our file transfer?
  Do you have other copies of the manual, which we might try
transferring? Furthermore, do you distribute hard copies?
  We hope to hear from you soon.
      Thanks,
                   Elise de Doncker

You can get ready-to-print PostScript versions of the GNU Emacs Lisp
Manual via FTP from tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/gnu/lisp-manual/*ps*.
It's the output of running dvi2ps on the dvi files from a.cs.uiuc.edu,
and should work on the PostScript printer nearest you, even if you
don't have Tex.

It's also on osu-cis for UUCP access - drop me a line if you need
instructions.

We tried to get the elisp manual also.  We experienced similar 
problems.  The first few TeX errors are shown below.  I'm using
the version of TEXINFO.TEX that came with the 18.52 dist. of
Gnu emacs.  (the rest of this article is direct from TeX - no
effort has been made to clean it up)
