Documentation

The documentation is composed using L^ATEX. The suggested L^ATEX distribution to compile the documentation is [teTEX].

L^ATEX compiles the documentation to DVI format. DVI documentation can be converted to PostScript using dvips. PDF version of the documentation can be generated with pdflatex. Online version, or HTML version, of the documentation can be generated with [L^ATEX2HTML]. Figure 1 shows the process of building the documentation.

Some L^ATEX documents include EPS diagram. These diagrams are drawn by hand using [Dia]. The diagrams are stored in CVS in Dia native binary format. Dia can export its diagrams to EPS format.

There is a makefile to automate all of the above commands. The makefile requires [GNU make].
