This is unmodified GNU texinfo-3.9 source. I'll be commiting a few

patches in a bit.

+Texinfo, Version 3
+==================
+
+This is the README file for version 3 of the Texinfo distribution.
+Files within this distribution have their own version and edition
+numbers.  When you refer to a file, please mention its own number, as
+well as the version number of the Texinfo distribution.
+
+PLEASE REPORT BUGS TO: bug-texinfo@prep.ai.mit.edu
+
+Texinfo is a documentation system that uses a single source file to
+produce both on-line information and printed output.  This means that
+instead of writing two different documents, one for the on-line help
+or other on-line information and the other for a typeset manual or
+other printed work, you need write only one document.  When the work
+is revised, you need revise only one document.  You can read the
+on-line information, known as an "Info file", with an Info
+documentation-reading program.  By convention, Texinfo source file
+names end with a `.texi' or `.texinfo' extension.  Texinfo is
+described in the Texinfo manual (the file ./texinfo.texi).
+
+You can write and format Texinfo files into Info files within GNU Emacs,
+and read them using the Emacs Info reader.  If you do not have Emacs,
+you can format Texinfo files into Info files using `makeinfo' and read
+them using `info'.  Use TeX, which is not included in this package (see
+`How to Obtain TeX' in the Texinfo manual for information), to typeset
+Texinfo files for printing.
+
+For instructions on compiling and installing info, makeinfo, texi2dvi,
+and texindex, please read the file `INSTALL'.  The Emacs Lisp files are
+not installed by default; to install them, use `make install' in the
+`emacs' subdirectory.  The Info tree uses a file `dir' as its root node;
+a sample `dir' file is included in the distribution, but not installed
+anywhere. Use it or not as you like.
+
+This distribution includes (but is not limited to) the following files:
+
+    README                      This file.
+
+    INTRODUCTION                This file tells you how to create
+                                readable files from the Texinfo source
+                                files in this distribution.

+Texinfo source files:
+
+    texinfo.texi                This manual describes Texinfo.  It
+                                tells how to use Texinfo to write
+                                documentation, how to use Texinfo mode
+                                in GNU Emacs, how to use TeX,
+                                makeinfo, and the Emacs Lisp Texinfo
+                                formatting commands.
+
+    info.texi                   This manual tells you how to use 
+                                Info.  This document comes as part of
+                                GNU Emacs.  If you do not have Emacs,
+                                you can format this Texinfo source
+                                file with makeinfo or TeX and then
+                                read the resulting Info file with the
+                                standalone Info reader that is part of
+                                this distribution.
+
+    info-stnd.texi              This manual tells you how to use
+                                the standalone GNU Info reader that is
+                                included in this distribution as a C
+                                source file, `info.c'.
+
+    makeinfo.texi               This manual tells you how to use
+                                makeinfo.  The same information is
+                                contained in a chapter of the Texinfo
+                                manual; it has been extracted here for
+                                your convenience.
