copyright-notice glitches in Texinfo 4.2 manuals

[Paul Eggert]

Here is a patch to fix some copyright-notice glitches in the Texinfo
4.2 manual.

2002-04-01  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>

        * doc/info-stnd.texi, doc/info.texi, doc/texinfo.txi: Spell
        out copyright years.

        * doc/info.texi: Use @copying rather than the old-fashioned
        @ifinfo stuff.

        * doc/texinfo.txi: Use @code for the `{}' after address@hidden'.
        `,' -> `;' to fix English typo.  Use spelled-out copyright
        years in examples.
