  24 PostScript
  25 ----------
  26
  27 The Exim specifications are also available in PostScript. This is not included
  28 in the main distribution because not everyone wants it. Wherever you got this
  29 distribution from should also have carried another file called
  30 exim-postscript-<version>.tar.gz which contains the PostScript documentation.
  31 When de-tarred it creates a directory called exim-postscript-<version> into
  32 which it places the files doc/filter.ps and doc/spec.ps.
  33
  34
  35 HTML
  36 ----
  37
  38 A conversion from the original sources into HTML is done to create the online
  39 documentation at http://www.exim.org. This set of files is also available for
  40 installation on other servers. Wherever you got this distribution from should
  41 also have carried another file called exim-html-<version>.tar.gz which contains
  42 the HTML documentation. When de-tarred it creates a directory called
  43 exim-html-<version> into which it places a directory called doc/html containing
  44 the set of HTML files. The kick off point is the traditional index.html.
  45
  46
  47 PDF
  48 ---
  49
  50 The Exim specifications are available in Portable Document Format. Wherever you
  51 got this distribution from should also have carried another file called
  52 exim-pdf-<version>.tar.gz which contains the PDF documentation. When de-tarred
  53 it creates a directory called exim-pdf-<version> into which it places the files
  54 doc/filter.pdf and doc/spec.pdf.
  55
  56
  57 TeXinfo
  58 -------
  59
  60 A version of the documentation that has been converted to TeXinfo format is
  61 available in the distribution file exim-texinfo-<version>.gz. When de-tarred it
  62 creates a directory called exim-texinfo-<version> into which it places the
  63 files doc/filter.texinfo and doc/spec.texinfo.
  64
  65 The conversion process is automatic, so the result isn't as nice as
  66 hand-maintained TeXinfo files would be, and some information is lost; for
  67 example, TeXinfo does not support the use of change bars.
