Viewing the texi doc
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's
texinfo documentation. However, this process is only approx-
imative, and some items, such as crossreferences, footnotes
and indices are lost in this translation process. Indeed,
these items have no appropriate representation in the man-
page format. Moreover, not all information has been
translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise
you to use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this
manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo doc.
* To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run
the following commands:
./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
* To generate a html copy, run:
./configure; make html
A premade html can be found at:
`http://mtools.linux.lu' and also at:
`http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools'
* To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info
mode), run:
./configure; make info
The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.
Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult
to read due to the quoting conventions used in info.
