These files are tty-readable conversions of the MH papers which were
written using the TeX typesetting language:
bboards.tty beginners.tty mh4mm.tty mh6.tty multifarious.tty
mznet.tty realwork.tty trusted.tty tutorial.tty
These conversions have been provided because they may be of use to some
sites who retrieved MH using FTP, and who do not have TeX or a laser
printer on which to print the papers. If you have a Postscript
printer, you may want to retrieve the Postscript conversion of these
papers, available in a different tar archive.
Of course, all recipients of an MH distribution tape receive a complete
set of laser-printed manuals, and these conversions are not a
substitute for properly-formatted copies of the originals.
The conversion was generated by the "dvi2tty" program. As full use of
TeX's rich typesetting environment was used in writing many of these
papers, and since the output is intended for a line printer, it is
necessarily quite primitive.
Font changes and special character representations are lost entirely.
White-space between words may be deleted or expanded, especially near
punctuation characters. Blank lines may be added or deleted.
Since typeset lines are typically longer than 80 tty characters, the
output has been generated for 132-colunm output devices. A typical
page has about 76 lines. Pages are separated by a formfeed character.
