What is Info?
*************

   "Info" is a program which is used to view Info files on an ASCII
terminal.  "Info files" are the result of processing Texinfo files with
the program `makeinfo' or with one of the Emacs commands, such as `M-x
texinfo-format-buffer'.  Texinfo itself is a documentation system that
uses a single source file to produce both on-line information and
printed output.  You can typeset and print the files that you read in
Info.
