6 This directory contains the source of the "Introduction to Programming
7 in Emacs Lisp" written by Robert J. Chassell, bob@gnu.org. This
8 manual is an elementary introduction to programming in Emacs Lisp for
9 people who are not programmers, and who are not necessarily interested
10 in programming, but who do want to customize or extend their computing
11 environment.
12
13 This third edition of 2006 Oct 31 updates the previous editions to GNU
14 Emacs 22.
15
16 The Texinfo source file `emacs-lisp-intro.texi', formats without
17 reported error using `pdfeTeXk', Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C
18 7.5.4) and texinfo.tex version 2006-08-26.17 started by `texi2dvi'
19 version 4.8, and with `makeinfo' version 4.8.
20
21 Also, this tar file contains the following optional Encapsulated Post
22 Script figures.
23
24 drawers.eps 7129 bytes
25 cons-1.eps 12136
26 cons-2.eps 12523
27 cons-2a.eps 12420
28 cons-3.eps 12984
29 cons-4.eps 13866
30 cons-5.eps 12986
31 lambda-1.eps 10252
32 lambda-2.eps 10278
33 lambda-3.eps 10275
34
35 See the beginning of the `emacs-lisp-intro.texi' file for appropriate
36 settings. These figures are not necessary; they are merely nice to
37 look at --- without them you get the same figures printed with ASCII
38 characters.
39
40 Whether and how you print PostScript depends on your site. You not
41 only need to set 'print-postscript-figures' before creating the .dvi
42 file, but then must convert the .dvi file to .ps with a 'dvips' or
43 equivalent command.
44
45 On some systems you will see an error message when `psfig.tex' is
46 loaded for the last two .eps files:
47
48 ! No room for a new \write .
49
50 If this happens, try `epsf.tex' instead of `psfig.tex', or try typing
51 RET at the error; the formatting may continue successfully.
52
53 Or else find the section that says:
54
55 @c !!! Clear print-postscript-figures if the computer formatting this
56 @c document is too small and cannot handle all the diagrams and figures.
57 @c clear print-postscript-figures
58
59 and change the file so it reads: @clear print-postscript-figures
60 This will prevent TeX from attempting to load the last few .eps files.
61
62 You will find additional instructions on formatting in the beginning
63 of the Texinfo file 'emacs-lisp-intro.texi'. Best Wishes!
