-This directory contains a browser written in Python for "Info files"
-as used by the Emacs documentation system. The browser requires that
-Python is built with the "stdwin" option and runs under X11 or the
-Mac window system.
-
-Now you can read Info files even if you can't spare the memory, time or
-disk space to run Emacs. (I have used this extensively on a Macintosh
-with 1 Megabyte main memory and a 20 Meg harddisk.)
-
-You can give this to someone with great fear of complex computer
-systems, as long as they can use a mouse.
-
-Another reason to use this is to encourage the use of Info for on-line
-documentation of software that is not related to Emacs or GNU.
-(In particular, I plan to redo the Python and STDWIN documentation
-in texinfo.)
-
-The main program is in file "ib.py"; this accepts a file name and a
-node name as optional command line arguments, i.e., its usage is
-
- python ib.py [file [node]]
-
-
-Configuration:
-
-- The pathname of the directory (or directories) containing
-the standard Info files should be set by editing the
-value assigned to INFOPATH in module ifile.py.
-
-- The default font should be set by editing the value of FONT
-in this module (ibrowse.py).
-
-- For fastest I/O, you may look at BLOCKSIZE and a few other
-constants in ifile.py.
