Sure. That's where GNU manuals come from, after all!
.info files are generated from Texinfo source files, which are
directly processable by TeX, assuming that you have the texinfo.tex
file installed. They can also be turned into info files (of course)
or html via makeinfo. Also, info can output text files using the -o
option.
Probably your distro has texinfo.tex installed, but not the original
.texi|.tex|.texinfo|.txi files. If you want 'em, D/L the bison/flex
source, and just find them.*
*However, this won't be necessary. I went through the process to make
sure my information was accurate, so I can just send you the
.texinfo, .ps, .pdf, and/or .html files. Just email me with which
ones you want.
