| Doc |
| --- |
| |
| The most uptodate doc of this package is the texinfo doc. Type 'make |
| info' to get online info doc, and 'make dvi ; dvips mtools.dvi' to get |
| a printed copy. The info doc has a concept index. Make use of it. |
| You may get an info copy using the following command 'make info'. |
| This can then be viewed using emacs' info mode, or using a standalone |
| info viewer. |
| Man pages are still present, but contain less information. |
| If you do not have the necessary tools to view the texinfo doc, you |
| may also find it on the World Wide Web at the following locations: |
| http://ftp.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html |
