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.
