The files which look like Postscript are TeX.  They are the "source code" for
the documentation.  The compiled versions are called info files.  They can be
read using a program called info or by info-mode in various variants of
emacs.  Small doc files come in one piece with extension .INF, larger ones
are split up into .I1, .I2,...  At the top level is a DIR file which points
to various .INF files.  To print the docs, you need TeX; I've never done
this.
