19 end of this man page for details.

43 \&\fR\&\f(CWMtype\fR strips the high bit from the data.

57 .SH Viewing\ the\ texi\ doc
58 This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
59 documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
60 items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
61 translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate
62 representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has
63 been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to
64 use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for
65 instructions how to view the texinfo doc.
68 To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following
74 ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
83 To generate a html copy, run:
88 ./configure; make html
94 \&\fRA premade html can be found at
95 \&\fR\&\f(CW\(ifhttp://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html\(is\fR
98 To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:
103 ./configure; make info
111 The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in
112 the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
113 quoting conventions used in info.
