527 Expect output of permute-index in permuted.fns.

530
531 Sat Aug 11 17:39:10 1990 Richard Stallman (rms@sugar-bombs.ai.mit.edu)
532

536

540 Fri Jun 8 16:44:44 EDT 1990 Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)
541
542 * Makefile make dist now depends on elisp.dvi, since it tries
543 to include it in the dist file.
544
545 Wed Mar 28 22:57:35 1990 Jim Kingdon (kingdon@mole.ai.mit.edu)
546
547 * functions.texinfo (Mapping Functions): Add missing quote
548
549 Mon Jun 19 18:09:24 1989 Richard Stallman (rms@sugar-bombs.ai.mit.edu)

554 Wed May 10 18:01:17 1989 Robert J. Chassell (bob@rice-chex.ai.mit.edu)
555
556 * @result{}, @expansion{}, @print{}, @quiv{}, @point{},
557 and @error{} are the terms now being used. The files in the
558 directory have been changed to reflect this.
559
560 * All instances of @indentedresultt{} have been changed to
561 ` @result{}', using 5 spaces at the begining of the line.
562
563 Mon Apr 24 21:02:55 1989 Robert J. Chassell (bob@rice-chex.ai.mit.edu)
564
565 * @result{}, @expandsto{}, @prints{}, @quiv{}, @error{}, and the
566 experimental @indentedresult{}, @indentedexpandsto{} are part of
567 the texinfo.tex in this directory. These TeX macros are not
568 stable yet.
569
570 Mon Apr 17 18:56:50 1989 Robert J. Chassell (bob@rice-chex.ai.mit.edu)
571
572 * texinfo.tex: temporarily added
573 \let\result=\dblarrow
574 \def\error{{\it ERROR} \longdblarrow}
575 We need to do this better soon.
576
577 Tue Apr 11 12:23:28 1989 Robert J. Chassell (bob@rice-chex.ai.mit.edu)
578
579 * Applied Karl Berry's patches to *.texinfo files, but not to
580 texinfo.tex; those diffs are in `berry-texinfo-tex-diffs'. (Karl's
581 new title page format is also not applied, since it requires
582 texinfo.tex changes.)
583
584 * Cleaned up `Makefile' and defined the `emacslibdir' directory
585 for the Project GNU development environment.
