Probably a dumb question from a new user but what do you use to read the pdf documentation. Both Acroread and gv baulk at them. Also the postscript package only delivers 45 bytes. What are the MD5 checksums for the tar.gz files? Geoff Streeter

Just read it with 'more' or a text editor.
Guys: Thank you for the input. I tried various things over the weekend. xpdf baulks, the CUPS lpr baulks - it was interesting to discover that lpr does actually know about pdf files and just prints them. I wanted the pdf so I could produce some written documentation (I am that old fashioned). Doing that with HTML is more difficult. I suspect that the pdf files are indeed broken in some way. Can anybody else read them? The postscript download did not produce a text file at all - it is binary of some sort.
