All he needs is GNU Emacs, which must surely be available for the
Archimedes. The separate info software (makeinfo, and the info
browser) ought to be pretty easy. There are a number of formats that
texinfo can be translated to, HTML springs to mind. I've not seen a
texinfo to RTF converter, although such a thing must surely be
possible.
