This publication applies to E-O-E - Emacs Office Environment as implemented for UNIX systems equiped with GNU-Emacs.
E-O-E is a collection of generalized commands, programming tools, software libraries, and related publications. Typically, an application programmer, a system manager, and a casual end user will require access to different subsets of this collection.
This manual is expected to function as a Roadmap. It enumerates the collection and the integration facilities that make the collection a cohesive environment. Each element of E-O-E is described in some detail. Where appropriate, reference to other sections of this publication or other related publications will be made.

Section 3, provides such an overview.

This manual is written in LATEXinfo. LATEXinfo is a documentation system that uses a single source file for both on-line documentation and a printed manual. See the LATEXinfo Manual for more details [].
The on-line documentation is in the form of an Info file. An on-line Info file is a file formatted so that the Info documentation reading program can operate on it. Info files are divided into pieces called nodes, each of which contains the discussion of one topic. M-x info in emacs and xinfo under X11 are two Info documentation reading programs that can be used for on-line manipulation of this manual.
