Re: asdf.texinfo

Hi Robert,

I have makeinfo version 4.8. It appears to run (i.e., I get an  
asdf.info file) without error.

I'm not sure what version of texinfmt.el I have. (My Emacs skills are  
limited but) The only el file I can find in my distribution of  
aquamacs that contains "texinfo-format-buffer" is latexinfo.el. This  
is version:

;; Version: $Id: latexinfo.el,v 1.4 2007/03/15 19:21:49 davidswelt Exp $

When I try to execute the command in Emacs, I get to line 319 with an  
error that "verbatim is not supported".

Let me know if there is more I can do to help sleuth this out
