   I've just gotten gnu make and am at a loss as to how to create the
   doc files from the ones supplied. Is there some other utility
   program I need to run them through?

Install TeX and a dvi-to-whatever translator appropriate for your
printer.  Copy texinfo.tex from some other GNU software distribution
(gcc seems to have the most recent version, 2.1).  Then just say `tex
make.texinfo' to create a make.dvi.  Use dvi2whatever to turn it into
your printer's format, and squirt it onto the paper.  Wipe up the bits
that leak out, because the operations people always get upset when you
leave puddles around the printer.
