| 5 | @c The following directives are necessary for proper compilation |
---|
| 6 | @c with emacs (C-c C-e C-r). Please keep it as it is. Since it |
---|
| 7 | @c is wrapped in `@ignore' and `@end ignore' it does not harm `tex' or |
---|
| 8 | @c `makeinfo' but is a great help in editing this file (emacs |
---|
| 9 | @c ignores the `@ignore'). |
