IOW, how can I convert them to >ASCII again :) The docs are in TexInfo format. I believe you can download them in ASCII format as well. Here's what you do with them: 1) You can print them. Using a TeX formatting package (like emTeX for OS/2) and the Texinfo header file, you can convert these to a device-independant (.dvi) file. This can then be converted into a PostScript (.PS) document or some other printer-specific format. 2) You can make a hypertext document from them. Using Gnu-Emacs (and the texinfo-format-buffer command) or the MakeInfo utility (has this been ported to OS/2?), you can produce .info files that the Gnu-Emacs info system can use. I did method 2, as I prefer on-line help to using lots of my printer paper. -- |) David Charlap "LECTURER, n.
