That's the first I've heard of it. There's a supplied ps2pdf script which invokes it with -sDEVICE=pdfwrite. Yes, it works, quite nice if you have to read manpages on a Windows machine. Making a .pdf of the handbook etc. would probably be very helpful for Windows users, using the current structure it's not very easy to download the whole lot to read off-line. Or a zip of all the html files (preferably with the extension .htm, yes it's ugly but at least it'll work better in Win3 :-) Word (or RTF) format is probably more useful in the long term but the converter's already there for PDF. And, bizarrely enough, some people don't use the internet <grin> although Word format would probably be even more useful...
