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
13 This third edition of 2006 Oct 31 updates the previous editions to GNU
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.
21 This directory contains the following Encapsulated PostScript figures:
23 cons-1.eps, cons-2.eps, cons-2a.eps, cons-3.eps, cons-4.eps, cons-5.eps
24 drawers.eps, lambda-1.eps, lambda-2.eps, lambda-3.eps
26 See the beginning of the `emacs-lisp-intro.texi' file for appropriate
27 settings. These figures are not necessary; they are merely nice to
28 look at --- without them you get the same figures printed with ASCII
31 Whether and how you print PostScript depends on your site. You not
32 only need to set 'print-postscript-figures' before creating the .dvi
33 file, but then must convert the .dvi file to .ps with a 'dvips' or
36 On some systems you will see an error message when `psfig.tex' is
37 loaded for the last two .eps files:
39 ! No room for a new \write .
41 If this happens, try `epsf.tex' instead of `psfig.tex', or try typing
42 RET at the error; the formatting may continue successfully.
44 Or else find the section that says:
46 @c !!! Clear print-postscript-figures if the computer formatting this
47 @c document is too small and cannot handle all the diagrams and figures.
48 @c clear print-postscript-figures
50 and change the file so it reads: @clear print-postscript-figures
51 This will prevent TeX from attempting to load the last few .eps files.
53 You will find additional instructions on formatting in the beginning
54 of the Texinfo file 'emacs-lisp-intro.texi'. Best Wishes!
