Apart from a few readme's, this directory contains all man pages for svgalib. I case you want to see one prior to installing svgalib, you can use man -M. manpage to see the page if you man binary supports it. If not, and if you have nroff or groff the tman script in this directy can be used as: tman manpage tman will have problems with the compressed files. However, the error message will indicate at which manual page you should look instead. Finally, make ascii make lpr make dvi make ps will produce documentation files in these format for nice printouts in this directory. 'ascii' is an Ascii file to be viewed on a terminal. 'lpr' is an ascii file too, but will contain characters to emulate bold and underlined on a line printer. make clean will remove these files again. The file ../0-README is actually an ascii printout of svgalib.7
