I will confine myself to pointing out that within the last month I
grabbed the User's Guide and found that it had been formatted with a
truly ancient version of dvips which had not followed the Adobe
Document Structuring Coventions.  That makes it hard to browse with
web-based tools.  I resorted to grabbing the TeX code and reproducing
it from scratch.

For the sake of the PostScript-challenged it would not hurt to
re-convert this and also to provide it as Adobe PDF.
