New format of AUTHORS file; list each author name once followed by contributed and changed files. Improve selection of entries to include in list, and generate list of unrecognized entries indicating syntax errors in ChangeLog files. (authors-coding-system): New variable. (authors-many-files): Update doc string. (authors-aliases): Change format. Now one entry with multiple aliases per author. (authors-valid-file-names, authors-renamed-files-alist) (authors-renamed-files-regexps): New variables. (authors-canonical-file-name): New function. Validates that file exists or occurs in one of the above lists. Record unrecognized file names in global authors-invalid-file-names list. (authors-add): Change to record per-change counts. (authors-canonical-author-name): Handle new format of authors-aliases list. (authors-scan-change-log): Rename FILE arg to LOG-FILE. Change doc string to describe new entry format. Only add author entries for valid file names. (authors-print): Replace by authors-add-to-author-list. (authors-add-to-author-list): New function which reorders per-file entries and adds them to global authors-author-list. (authors): Instead of authors-print to insert in *Authors* buffer, use authors-add-to-author-list to reorder the list and then insert result in *Authors* buffer with new format. Generate *Authors Errors* compilation-mode buffer listing unrecognized ChangeLog entries.

Basic Installation for  An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp  version 2
==================

    # To see the table of contents of the emacs-lisp-intro-2.00.tar.gz
    # file, execute the following at your shell prompt:

    tar -tzvf emacs-lisp-intro-2.00.tar.gz

    # To uncompress and untar the file, execute the following:

    tar -xzvf emacs-lisp-intro-2.00.tar.gz

    # The file will untar into a subdirectory called emacs-lisp-intro-2.00
    # That directory will contain the Texinfo source for the book, the
    # Info files and various other files.

    cd emacs-lisp-intro-2.00

    # To create a DVI file that can be printed directly or converted
    # to PostScript or PDF and then printed, execute the following:

    ./configure
    make dvi

    # To create an HTML file, execute the following 
    #   (presumably you have already executed the `./configure' command
    #    before running `make dvi'; if not execute `./configure' now);
    # this will place HTML files into a emacs-lisp-intro/ subdirectory:

    makeinfo --html --verbose emacs-lisp-intro.texi

    # To create a single, large HTML file in the current directory,
    # use the --no-split option, like this:

    makeinfo --html --no-split --verbose emacs-lisp-intro.texi

        # At the time of writing, `makeinfo' version 4.0b creates HTML
        # files with %20 in addresses instead of a space.  Some
        # browsers have difficulty following such references.  In
        # GNU Emacs, you can replace the occurrences of %20 with a
        # command such as
        #              (replace-string "%20" " ")

    # To create a single, large Info file in the current directory
    # instead of the usual 16 smaller Info files, and also, to avoid
    # indenting paragraphs, execute:

    makeinfo --no-split --paragraph-indent=0 --verbose emacs-lisp-intro.texi

    # To create a single, large Plain text file in the current
    # directory, execute:

    makeinfo --fill-column=70 --no-split --paragraph-indent=0 \
    --verbose --no-headers --output=emacs-lisp-intro.txt emacs-lisp-intro.texi
