@sp .5

@tenrm{The name of the font family used in this book is Computer
Modern. These are free fonts designed by Donald E. Knuth for his @TeX{}
typesetting system, and are described in Volume E of the @cite{Computers
& Typesetting} series, @cite{Computer Modern Typefaces}
(Addison--Wesley, 1986).

@sp .5

This book was written and produced using the free software tools it
describes. It was prepared with Texinfo, a system for generating both
hardcopy and electronic output from a single source document. The
Texinfo input files were composed in GNU Emacs, and the screen shots
were taken and processed with the Image Magick suite of tools. The
output was converted to PostScript for printing using Tomas Rokicki's
Dvips, GNU Ghostscript, and Angus Duggan's PostScript Utilities. The
system was a 100MHz 586 personal computer running Debian GNU/Linux 2.2.}

*NOTE:* Info (the program you are reading this with) is easy to use, but
it can seem hard if you are unfamiliar with it. If you're new to Info, I
recommend you run the built-in tutorial to use it before you read this
text. To run the Info tutorial, just type the 'h' key. You can do this
at any time while you are in Info.
