Overview of Texinfo
*******************

  "Texinfo"(1) (Note: Overview-Footnote-1)  is a documentation system
that uses a single source file to produce both online information and
printed output.  This means that instead of writing two different
documents, one for the online information and the other for a printed
work, you need write only one document.  Therefore, when the work is
revised, you need revise only that one document.
