* leim-M.N.tar.gz
The Emacs Lisp code for input methods for various international
-character scripts is distributed in a separate tar file because of its
-large size. This file is called leim-M.N.tar.gz, with the same
-version number as Emacs, and it unpacks into the directory
-emacs-M.N/leim. Thus, if you unpack it in the same directory where
-you unpacked the Emacs distribution, it fills in a subdirectory
-of the Emacs distribution.
-
-If you have already unpacked the Leim tar file into a subdirectory of
-the Emacs sources, building and installing Emacs automatically
-installs the input method support as well. If you unpack the Leim tar
-file into the Emacs sources after building and installing Emacs, just
-build Emacs again and install it again.

+You should unpack leim-M.N.tar.gz into the same directory where you
+have previously unpacked the main Emacs distribution. It fills in the
+contents of one subdirectory, which is present in the main Emacs
+distribution only in dummy form.

* intlfonts-VERSION.tar.gz
characters don't look right, or appear improperly aligned, a font
from the intlfonts distribution might look better.
+The fonts in the intlfonts distribution are also used by the ps-print
+package for printing international characters. The file
+lisp/ps-mule.el defines the .bdf font files required for printing
+each character set.
+
The intlfonts distribution contains its own installation instructions,
in the intlfonts/README file.
+* elisp-manual-M.N.tar.gz
+
+This distribution contains the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual which
+complements the Emacs Lisp Manual. It is a good idea to install the
+Emacs Lisp Reference Manual after installing Emacs, to complete the
+on-line documentation of Emacs in Info.
+
+If you have installed Texinfo, you can install the Emacs Lisp
+Reference Manual this way:
+
+ cd elisp-manual-M.N
+ ./configure --prefix=PREFIXDIR
+ make install
+
+Otherwise, you can install it manually. Just copy the files elisp and
+elisp-* from the elisp-manual-M.N directory to your site's info
+directory (see the description of `infodir', below), and make sure
+that file `dir' in this directory contains an entry like this:
+

BUILDING AND INSTALLATION:

(This assumes that the Emacs distribution is called `emacs.tgz' on
your system.)
+If you need to type international characters, you will need to unpack
+the Leim distribution (see the description near the beginning of this
+file). You unpack it from the same directory where you unpacked
+Emacs. To unpack Leim with djtar, assuming the Leim distribution is
+called `leim.tgz', type this command:
+
+ djtar -x leim.tgz
+
+If you want to print international characters, install the intlfonts
+distribution. For this, create a directory called `fonts' under the
+Emacs top-level directory (usually called `emacs-XX.YY') created by
+unpacking emacs.tgz, chdir into the directory emacs-XX.YY/fonts, and
+type this:
+
+ djtar -x intlfonts.tgz
+
When unpacking is done, a directory called `emacs-XX.YY' will be
created, where XX.YY is the Emacs version. To build and install
Emacs, chdir to that directory and type these commands:
config msdos
make install
+To install the international fonts, chdir to the intlfonts-X.Y
+directory created when you unpacked the intlfonts distribution (X.Y is
+the version number of the fonts' distribution), and type the following
+command:
+
+ make bdf INSTALLDIR=..
+
+After Make finishes, you may remove the directory intlfonts-X.Y; the
+fonts are installed into the fonts/bdf subdirectory of the top-level
+Emacs directory, and that is where Emacs will look for them by
+default.

Building Emacs creates executable files in the src and lib-src
directories. Installing Emacs on MSDOS moves these executables to a
sibling directory called bin. For example, if you build in directory
/emacs, installing moves the executables from /emacs/src and
/emacs/lib-src to the directory /emacs/bin, so you can then delete the
subdirectories /emacs/src and /emacs/lib-src if you wish. The only
-subdirectories you need to keep are bin, lisp, etc and info. The bin
-subdirectory should be added to your PATH. The msdos subdirectory
-includes a PIF and an icon file for Emacs which you might find useful

+subdirectories you need to keep are bin, lisp, etc and info. (If you

Emacs on MSDOS finds the lisp, etc and info directories by looking in
../lisp, ../etc and ../info, starting from the directory where the
