Is it possible to tweak page numbering in the manual, with each chapter
having it's separate sequence?
The manual is fairly extensive. If a chapter has changed even in a minor
way, the numbering of subsequent chapters is also affected. With
chapter-by-chapter page numbering, once could keep the manual in a binder,
and swap out chapters one by one, as needed.
Is there a way to do this with a simple latex tweak? I can't remember this.

Updating this to, I hope, clarify my request. I see that to convert to
LaTeX is a chore, and don't know whether the file would be amenable to
tweaks, like using the chappg LaTeX package.
Texinfo is a black box for me. I am guessing that the best way to do this
is to convert the Texinfo source into LaTeX.
The numbering scheme I am proposing would be at a highest section, or
chapter, level:
A-1; C-26 , etc.
OR
1.1
4.5
etc.
Then if one had the manual as hardcopy, in a binder, he could print out the
chapter in question, and the TOC. Maybe some manner of dictionary
