1 This directory contains the source of the "Introduction to programming | |
2 in Emacs Lisp" written by Robert J. Chassell, bob@gnu.org. This | |
3 manual is an elementary introduction to programming in Emacs Lisp for | |
4 people who are not programmers, and who are not necessarily interested | |
5 in programming, but who do want to customize or extend their computing | |
6 environment. | |
7 | |
8 This second edition of 2001 Nov 20 updates the previous editions to | |
9 GNU Emacs 21. | |
10 | |
11 The Texinfo source file `emacs-lisp-intro.texi', formats without | |
12 error using TeX version 3.14159, `kpathsea' version 3.3.1, | |
13 `texinfo.tex' version 2001-05-24.08, and `makeinfo' version 4.0b. | |
14 | |
15 Also, this tar file contains the following optional Encapsulated Post | |
16 Script figures. | |
17 | |
18 drawers.eps 7129 bytes | |
19 cons-1.eps 12136 | |
20 cons-2.eps 12523 | |
21 cons-2a.eps 12420 | |
22 cons-3.eps 12984 | |
23 cons-4.eps 13866 | |
24 cons-5.eps 12986 | |
25 lambda-1.eps 10252 | |
26 lambda-2.eps 10278 | |
27 lambda-3.eps 10275 | |
28 | |
29 See the beginning of the `emacs-lisp-intro.texi' file for appropriate | |
30 settings. These figures are not necessary; they are merely nice to | |
31 look at --- without them you get the same figures printed with ASCII | |
32 characters. | |
33 | |
34 Whether and how you print PostScript depends on your site. You not | |
35 only need to set 'print-postscript-figures' before creating the .dvi | |
36 file, but then must convert the .dvi file to .ps with a 'dvips' or | |
37 equivalent command. | |
38 | |
39 On some systems you will see an error message when `psfig.tex' is | |
40 loaded for the last two .eps files: | |
41 | |
42 ! No room for a new \write . | |
43 | |
44 If this happens, try `epsf.tex' instead of `psfig.tex', or try typing | |
45 RET at the error; the formatting may continue successfully. | |
46 | |
47 Or else find the section that says: | |
48 | |
49 @c !!! Clear print-postscript-figures if the computer formatting this | |
50 @c document is too small and cannot handle all the diagrams and figures. | |
51 @c clear print-postscript-figures | |
52 | |
53 and change the file so it reads: @clear print-postscript-figures | |
54 This will prevent TeX from attempting to load the last few .eps files. | |
55 | |
56 You will find additional instructions on formatting in the beginning | |
57 of the Texinfo file 'emacs-lisp-intro.texi'. Best Wishes! | |
