Lovely!  Looking forward to seeing it in texinfo.tex also.  Then
once it's formally released, I will switch the gawk manual over to it.

WRT makeinfo --latex, I need to go through the manual and add
appropriate @iflatex / @ifnotlatex stuff and then try to format it.

I've never used latex. I assume the sequence is something like

        makeinfo --latex gawk.texi      # should have no errors / warnings
        latex gawk.tex
        latex gawk.tex  # second time for xrefs and indexing
        dvi2ps gawk.dvi gawk.ps
        ps2pdf gawk.ps gawk.pdf

If not, what's the right incantation(s)?

Thanks!

Arnold
