+Installation of the pcl-cvs program
+===================================
+
+ 1. Edit the file `Makefile' to reflect the situation at your site.
+ The only things you have to change is the definition of
+ `lispdir' and `infodir'. The elisp files will be copied to
+ `lispdir', and the info file to `infodir'.
+
+ 2. Configure pcl-cvs.el
+
+ There are a couple of paths that you have to check to make
+ sure that they match you system. They appear early in the file
+ pcl-cvs.el.
+
+ *NOTE:* If your system is running emacs 18.57 or earlier
+ you MUST uncomment the line that says:
+
+ (setq delete-exited-processes nil)
+
+ Setting `delete-exited-processes' to `nil' works around a bug
+ in emacs that causes it to dump core. The bug was fixed in
+ emacs 18.58.
+
+ 3. Type `make install' in the source directory. This will
+ byte-compile all `.el' files and copy both the `.el' and the
+ `.elc' into the directory you specified in step 1.
+
+ If you don't want to install the `.el' files but only the
+ `.elc' files (the byte-compiled files), you can type ``make
+ install_elc'' instead of ``make install''.
+
+ If you only want to create the compiled elisp files, but
+ don't want to install them, you can type `make elcfiles'
+ instead. This is what happens if you only type `make' without
+ parameters.
+
+ 4. Edit the file `default.el' in your emacs lisp directory (usually
+ `/usr/gnu/emacs/lisp' or something similar) and enter the
+ contents of the file `pcl-cvs-startup.el' into it. It contains
+ a couple of `auto-load's that facilitates the use of pcl-cvs.
+
+
+
+
+Installation of the on-line manual.
+===================================
+
+ 1. Create the info file `pcl-cvs' from `pcl-cvs.texinfo' by typing
+ `make info'. If you don't have the program `makeinfo' you can
+ get it by anonymous ftp from e.g. `ftp.gnu.ai.mit.edu' as
+ `pub/gnu/texinfo-2.14.tar.Z' (there might be a newer version
+ there when you read this), or you could use the preformatted
+ info file `pcl-cvs.info' that is included in the distribution
+ (type `cp pcl-cvs.info pcl-cvs').
+
+ 2. Move the info file `pcl-cvs' to your standard info directory.
+ This might be called something like `/usr/gnu/emacs/info'.
+
+ 3. Edit the file `dir' in the info directory and enter one line to
+ contain a pointer to the info file `pcl-cvs'. The line can, for
+ instance, look like this:
+
+ * Pcl-cvs: (pcl-cvs). An Emacs front-end to CVS.
+
+
+
+
+How to make typeset documentation from pcl-cvs.texinfo
+======================================================
+
+ If you have TeX installed at your site, you can make a typeset
+manual from `pcl-cvs.texinfo'.
+
+ 1. Run TeX by typing ``make pcl-cvs.dvi''. You will not get the
+ indices unless you have the `texindex' program.
+
+ 2. Convert the resulting device independent file `pcl-cvs.dvi' to a
+ form which your printer can output and print it. If you have a
+ postscript printer there is a program, `dvi2ps', which does.
+ There is also a program which comes together with TeX, `dvips',
+ which you can use.
