+This directory contains the source of the "Introduction to Programming
+in Emacs Lisp" written by Robert J. Chassell, address@hidden This
+manual is an elementary introduction to programming in Emacs Lisp for
+people who are not programmers, and who are not necessarily interested
+in programming, but who do want to customize or extend their computing
+environment.
+
+This third edition of 2006 Oct 31 updates the previous editions to GNU
+Emacs 22.
+
+The Texinfo source file `emacs-lisp-intro.texi', formats without
+reported error using `pdfeTeXk', Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C
+7.5.4) and texinfo.tex version 2006-08-26.17 started by `texi2dvi'
+version 4.8, and with `makeinfo' version 4.8.
+
+Also, this tar file contains the following optional Encapsulated Post
+Script figures.
+
+ drawers.eps 7129 bytes
+ cons-1.eps 12136
+ cons-2.eps 12523
+ cons-2a.eps 12420
+ cons-3.eps 12984
+ cons-4.eps 13866
+ cons-5.eps 12986
+ lambda-1.eps 10252
+ lambda-2.eps 10278
+ lambda-3.eps 10275
+
+See the beginning of the `emacs-lisp-intro.texi' file for appropriate
+settings. These figures are not necessary; they are merely nice to
+look at --- without them you get the same figures printed with ASCII
+characters.
+
+Whether and how you print PostScript depends on your site. You not
+only need to set 'print-postscript-figures' before creating the .dvi
+file, but then must convert the .dvi file to .ps with a 'dvips' or
+equivalent command.
+
+On some systems you will see an error message when `psfig.tex' is
+loaded for the last two .eps files:
+
+ ! No room for a new \write .
+
+If this happens, try `epsf.tex' instead of `psfig.tex', or try typing
+RET at the error; the formatting may continue successfully.
+
+Or else find the section that says:
+
+ @c !!! Clear print-postscript-figures if the computer formatting this
+ @c document is too small and cannot handle all the diagrams and figures.
+ @c clear print-postscript-figures
+
+and change the file so it reads: @clear print-postscript-figures
+This will prevent TeX from attempting to load the last few .eps files.
+
+You will find additional instructions on formatting in the beginning
+of the Texinfo file 'emacs-lisp-intro.texi'. Best Wishes!
