+This directory contains documentation on the Texinfo system and the TeX
+sources needed to process Texinfo sources.
+
+The .tex files are not installed automatically because TeX installations
+vary so widely.  Installing them in the wrong place would give a false
+sense of security.  So, you should simply cp *.tex to the appropriate
+place.  If your installation follows the TeX Directory Structure
+standard (http://www.tug.org/tds/), this will be the directory
+<texmf>/tex/texinfo/ for texinfo.tex and <texmf>/tex/plain/dvips/ for
+epsf.tex.  If you use the default installation paths, <texmf> will be
+/usr/local/share/texmf.  If you have teTeX, you can find <texmf> by
+running:
+  texconfig confall | grep \^TEXMF=
+(The configure script tries to do this for you.)
+
+You can get the latest texinfo.tex from
+ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/texinfo.tex
+ftp://ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/texinfo.tex
+or on the FSF machines in /home/gd/gnu/doc/texinfo.tex.
+If you have problems with the version in this distribution, please check
+for a newer version.
+
+epsf.tex comes with dvips distributions, and you may already have it
+installed.  The version here is functionally identical but slightly
+nicer than the one in dvips574.  The changes have been sent to the
+epsf.tex maintainer.
