similarly named files with two letter extensions that are not index
files, such as `foo.el'. The `texindex' command reports but otherwise
ignores such files.)
For each file specified, `texindex' generates a sorted index file
whose name is made by appending `s' to the input file name. The
`@printindex' command knows to look for a file of that name (*note

Optionally, you may create an additional `texinfo.cnf', and install

You can attempt to direct TeX to typeset pages larger or smaller than
usual with the `\mag' TeX command. Everything that is typeset is
scaled proportionally larger or smaller. (`\mag' stands for
