-The file NEWS contains information about what has changed since the last
-release.
-
-The file ../INSTALL contains instructions on how to install Info.

-Info 2.0 is a complete rewrite of the original standalone Info I wrote in
-1987, the first program I wrote for rms. That program was something like
-my second Unix program ever, and my die-hard machine language coding habits
-tended to show through. I found the original Info hard to read and
-maintain, and thus decided to write this one.
-
-The rewrite consists of about 12,000 lines of code written in about 12
-days. I believe this version of Info to be in much better shape than the
-original Info, and the only reason it is in Beta test is because of its
-short life span.
-
-Info 2.0 is substantially different from its original standalone
-predecessor. It appears almost identical to the GNU Emacs version, but has
-the advantages of smaller size, ease of portability, and a built in library
-which can be used in other programs (to get or display documentation from
-Info files, for example).
-
-I eagerly await responses to this newer version of Info; comments on its
-portability, ease of use and user interface, code quality, and general
-usefulness are all of interest to me, and I will appreciate any comments
-that you would care to make.
-
-A full listing of the commands available in Info can be gotten by typing
-`?' while within an Info window. This produces a node in a window which
-can be viewed just like any Info node.
