33 The README below is retained in its original form for posterity. All
34 of the txt (.doc and .tty) files have been renamed to .txt. All of
35 the postscript (.ps) files have been converted to pdf using ps2pdf.

44 These are formatted versions of the major MH documents (written
45 using the troff "-ms" and "-me" macro packages). The ".doc" files
46 are formatted for 66 lines/page:
48 ADMIN.doc - The MH Administrator's Manual - how to configure MH
49 MH.doc - The MH User's Manual
50 changes.doc - Changes from MH 6.6 to MH 6.8
51 mh-gen.doc - The "READ-ME" file - how to generate MH (aka mh-gen(8))
53 Postscript versions are also available:
55 ADMIN.ps - The MH Administrator's Manual - how to configure MH
56 MH.ps - The MH User's Manual
57 changes.ps - Changes from MH 6.6 to MH 6.8
58 mh-gen.ps - The "READ-ME" file - how to generate MH (aka mh-gen(8))
60 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
62 These are postscript conversions of the MH papers which were written
63 using the TeX typesetting language:
65 bboards.ps - The UCI BBoards Facility
66 beginners.ps - UCI MH for Beginners
67 mh4mm.ps - MH for MM users
68 mh6.ps - Changes from MH 6.0 to MH 6.5 for 4.3BSD
69 multifarious.ps - MH: A Multifarious User Agen
70 mznet.ps - MZnet - Mail Service for Personal Micro Comp. Sys.
71 realwork.ps - MH.5 - How to process 200 messages...
72 trusted.ps - Design of the TTI Prototype Trusted Mail Agent
73 tutorial.ps - The MH Tutorial
75 These conversions have been provided because they may be of use to some
76 sites who retrieved MH using FTP, and who do not have TeX to typeset
77 the papers themselves. Of course, all recipients of an MH distribution
78 tape receive a complete set of laser-printed manuals.
80 These conversions were generated with the "dvips" program. I have
81 printed them on an Imagen 5320 w/ Turboscript, and the output is
82 identical to the original "dvi" versions of these papers.
84 As yet, I have had no success downloading the postscript files to a Mac-
85 intosh, and printing them on a Laserwriter. If you are able to generate
86 copies of these papers which will print (identically to the originals or
87 otherwise) on a Laserwriter, please contact "Bug-MH@ICS.UCI.EDU".

91 These files are tty-readable conversions of the MH papers which were
92 written using the TeX typesetting language:
94 bboards.tty - The UCI BBoards Facility
95 beginners.tty - UCI MH for Beginners
96 mh4mm.tty - MH for MM users
97 mh6.tty - Changes from MH 6.0 to MH 6.5 for 4.3BSD
98 multifarious.tty - MH: A Multifarious User Agen
99 mznet.tty - MZnet - Mail Service for Personal Micro Comp. Sys.
100 realwork.tty - MH.5 - How to process 200 messages...
101 trusted.tty - Design of the TTI Prototype Trusted Mail Agent
102 tutorial.tty - The MH Tutorial
104 These conversions have been provided because they may be of use to some
105 sites who retrieved MH using FTP, and who do not have TeX or a laser
106 printer on which to print the papers. If you have a Postscript
107 printer, you may want to retrieve the Postscript conversion of these
108 papers, available in a different tar archive.
110 Of course, all recipients of an MH distribution tape receive a complete
111 set of laser-printed manuals, and these conversions are not a
112 substitute for properly-formatted copies of the originals.
114 The conversion was generated by the "dvi2tty" program. As full use of
115 TeX's rich typesetting environment was used in writing many of these
116 papers, and since the output is intended for a line printer, it is
117 necessarily quite primitive.
119 Font changes and special character representations are lost entirely.
120 White-space between words may be deleted or expanded, especially near
121 punctuation characters. Blank lines may be added or deleted.
123 Since typeset lines are typically longer than 80 tty characters, the
124 output has been generated for 132-colunm output devices. A typical
125 page has about 76 lines. Pages are separated by a formfeed character.
