We produce "hardcopy" for each full release of Postgres (e.g. v6.3, v6.4, etc). I don't do that between releases because my current procedure for producing hardcopy requires that I hand-edit each manual in ApplixWare after generating RTF. There is a theoretical possibility of having an sgml->tex->ps procedure (which might be automated), but the tex configuration to handle those large files was difficult the last time I checked, and the last time I tried this embedded tables would not format correctly anyway. Some of those things might have been fixed in the meantime, but I haven't pursued it. We expect v6.5 to be released in a few weeks, and new docs will be included. The docs might be available a few days in advance on the web site, and fwiw the tutorial doc will not likely change. Would you be interested in contributing pdf files back to our project? I could send you the ps docs as I create them. pdf might be a useful feature for some folks... - Tom -- Thomas Lockhart lockhart@alumni.caltech.edu South Pasadena, California
