PostScript ---------- The Exim specifications are also available in PostScript. This is not included in the main distribution because not everyone wants it and it doesn't diff well, causing patches to be very much larger than necessary. Wherever you got this distribution from should also have carried another file called exim-postscript-.tar.gz which contains the PostScript documentation. When de-tarred it creates a directory called exim-postscript- into which it places the files doc/filter.ps and doc/spec.ps. HTML ---- A special conversion from the original sources via Texinfo into HTML is done to create the online documentation at http://www.exim.org. This set of files is also available for installation on other servers. Wherever you got this distribution from should also have carried another file called exim-html-.tar.gz which contains the HTML documentation. When de-tarred it creates a directory called exim-html- into which it places a directory called doc/html containing the set of HTML files. The kick off points are: html/spec.html - specification (framed) html/filter_toc.html - filter docs PDF --- The Exim specifications are available in Portable Document Format. Wherever you got this distribution from should also have carried another file called exim-pdf-.tar.gz which contains the PDF documentation. When de-tarred it creates a directory called exim-pdf- into which it places the files doc/filter.pdf and doc/spec.pdf. TeXinfo ------- A version of the documentation that has been converted to TeXinfo format is available in the distribution file exim-texinfo-.gz. When de-tarred it creates a directory called exim-texinfo- into which it places the files doc/filter.texinfo and doc/spec.texinfo. The conversion process is automatic (a Perl script) so the result isn't as nice as hand-maintained TeXinfo files would be, and some information is lost; for example, TeXinfo does not support the use of change bars. There is cgi-bin perl script called info2www which converts info files to html on the fly so that the same info files can be read using the "info" program, or from emacs, or from your favourite browser. This is available from http://www.ericsson.nl/info2www/info2www.html -- End --
