If you have a file, foo.texi, you should be able to run the command,
`tex foo.texi'.  The foo.texi file should begin with the line, 
`\input texinfo' which will cause a file, texinfo.tex, to be loaded
from someplace.  You may have trouble if you don't have that file in
your TeX installation.  In that case, get the texinfo package from
prep.ai.mit.edu and install it.

If foo.texi make indexes, you will need to run `texindex foo.??' after
the tex run to create the properly sorted indexes.  Then rerun tex.

Now you should have a file, foo.dvi.  Hopfully, your TeX installation
has some program like dvips to convert this to a PS file.
