I like both the emacs info mormat and html will certainly do. Well, latexinfo for emacs gives me errors when I try running (version 1.70), latex2html looks promising, but it requires latex and some other utilities. At this point, I don't see an easy way to install latex without taking up over 30 megs of precious diskspace on my little linux system. So that leves me to ask on the list to see what others might have done to make these documents more readable. I suppose ascii will do, but I rather like the hyper text format due to the reference nature of these manuals. Any ideas? Thanks -- Holmes Tempe, Arizona USA
