-Info 2.0 is a complete rewrite of the original standalone Info that I
-(Brian Fox) wrote in 1987, the first program I wrote for rms.  That
-program was something like my second Unix program ever, and my die-hard
-machine language coding habits tended to show through.  I found the
-original Info hard to read and maintain, and thus decided to write this one.
-
-The rewrite consists of about 12,000 lines of code written in about 12
-days.  I believe this version of Info to be in much better shape than the
-original Info.
-
-Info 2.0 is substantially different from its original standalone
-predecessor.  It appears almost identical to the GNU Emacs version, but has
-the advantages of smaller size, ease of portability, and a built in library
-which can be used in other programs (to get or display documentation from
-Info files, for example).
-
-A full listing of the commands available in Info can be gotten by typing
-`?' while within an Info window.  This produces a node in a window which
-can be viewed just like any Info node.
