There ought to be an archive of documentation for djgpp in Postscript and
plain ASCII form (and for FSF software in general.)  Can anyone provide
space for such a thing?  It's probably best for the archive maintainer to 
have TeX, etc., for the necessary conversions.

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!......

I have been dedicatedly trying to learn this stuff for weeks without docs, 
all because I have too much *real* (sigh) work to do to worry about learning
TeX, I don`t have a PS printer, and even if both of those things weren't
the case, I don't have the DISK SPACE (10meg+) for *another* program. 

I understand that TeX is great stuff, I understand that it does everything
you could want a text formatter to do -- But please understand that some
of us our here just do not physically have the time, money or inclination
to use it - We NEED ASCII!

I'm not trying to be offensive, but some how about considering us users?
