+@unnumbered Viewing the texi doc
+This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
+documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
+items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
+translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate
+representation in the manpage 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.
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following
+commands:
+@example
+ ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
+@end example
+
+@item
+To generate a html copy, run:
+@example
+ ./configure; make html
+@end example
+A premade html can be found at
+@file{http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html}
+
+@item
+To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:
+@example
+ ./configure; make info
+@end example
+@end itemize
+
+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.
