+README for Edition 2.9 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.
+
+* This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Reference
+Manual, make-permuted-index, and the latest version of texinfo.tex,
+which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of
+texinfo.tex.
+
+* Report Lisp Manual bugs to address@hidden  We don't read
+these bug reports until it's time for a new edition.  To report other
+Emacs bugs, use address@hidden  To ask questions, use the
+newsgroup gnu.emacs.help.
+
+* The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large.  It totals around
+1100 pages in smallbook format; the info files total over
+2.5 megabytes.
+
+* You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy
+using TeX.
+
+* You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation.
+For info, send mail to address@hidden or phone 617-542-5942.  Buying a
+manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our GNU
+development work.
+
+** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
+Otherwise, here are detailed instructions:
+
+** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this
+manual is included in this distribution.
+
+The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called
+`elisp.texi'.  It contains @include commands to include all the
+chapters that make up the manual.  In addition, `elisp.texi' has
+the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the
address@hidden command.
+
+To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following
+commands in the shell:
+
+% ./configure
+% make index.texi
+% make elisp.dvi
+
+*** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment
+with `make-permuted-index'.
+
+** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run
+`./configure' and `make info'.  To install the Info files, run
+`make install'.
