+Info 2.0 is a complete rewrite of the original standalone Info I wrote
+in 1987, the first program I wrote for rms.  That program was
+something like my second Unix program ever, and my die-hard machine
+language coding habits tended to show through.  I found the original
+Info hard to read and maintain, and thus decided to write this one.
+
+The rewrite consists of about 12,000 lines of code written in about 12
+days.  I believe this version of Info to be in much better shape than
+the original Info, and the only reason it is in Beta test is because
+of its short life span.
+
+Info 2.0 is substantially different from its original standalone
+predecessor.  It appears almost identical to the GNU Emacs version,
+but has the advantages of smaller size, ease of portability, and a
+built in library which can be used in other programs (to get or
+display documentation from Info files, for example).
+
+I eagerly await responses to this newer version of Info; comments on
+its portability, ease of use and user interface, code quality, and
+general usefulness are all of interest to me, and I will appreciate
+any comments that you would care to make.
+
+A full listing of the commands available in Info can be gotten by
+typing `?' while within an Info window.  This produces a node in a
+window which can be viewed just like any Info node.
+
+So, please send your comments, bug reports, and suggestions to
+

+
+Thanks for beta testing this software.
