133 Fri Jun 21 19:44:26 1996 Bob Glickstein <bobg@hiro.zanshin.com>
136 Don't explicitly mention version.texi. Automake now does it
137 automagically, by noticing the `@include version.texi' in
141 Use @include instead of @input. This is more Texinfoid, plus
142 allows Automake to automatically deduce the need for
146 Elide trailing slashes from package names, then complain if
147 package names have slashes in them.
