| 61879b3a | 1 | This directory contains the source of the "Introduction to Programming |
| e8ea3caf EZ |
2 | in Emacs Lisp" written by Robert J. Chassell, bob@gnu.org. This |
| 3 | manual is an elementary introduction to programming in Emacs Lisp for | |
| 4 | people who are not programmers, and who are not necessarily interested | |
| 5 | in programming, but who do want to customize or extend their computing | |
| 6 | environment. | |

| 13 | 7.5.4) and texinfo.tex version 2006-08-26.17 started by `texi2dvi' | |
| 14 | version 4.8, and with `makeinfo' version 4.8. | |

| 16 | Also, this tar file contains the following optional Encapsulated Post | |
| 17 | Script figures. | |

| 30 | See the beginning of the `emacs-lisp-intro.texi' file for appropriate | |
| 31 | settings. These figures are not necessary; they are merely nice to | |
| 32 | look at --- without them you get the same figures printed with ASCII | |
| 33 | characters. | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | Whether and how you print PostScript depends on your site. You not | |
| 36 | only need to set 'print-postscript-figures' before creating the .dvi | |
| 37 | file, but then must convert the .dvi file to .ps with a 'dvips' or | |
| 38 | equivalent command. | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | On some systems you will see an error message when `psfig.tex' is | |
| 41 | loaded for the last two .eps files: | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | ! No room for a new \write . | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | If this happens, try `epsf.tex' instead of `psfig.tex', or try typing | |
| 46 | RET at the error; the formatting may continue successfully. | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | Or else find the section that says: | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | @c !!! Clear print-postscript-figures if the computer formatting this | |
| 51 | @c document is too small and cannot handle all the diagrams and figures. | |
| 52 | @c clear print-postscript-figures | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | and change the file so it reads: @clear print-postscript-figures | |
| 55 | This will prevent TeX from attempting to load the last few .eps files. | |
| 56 | ||
| 57 | You will find additional instructions on formatting in the beginning | |
| 58 | of the Texinfo file 'emacs-lisp-intro.texi'. Best Wishes! | |
