However, the +documentation requires various additional tools that are not so standard: + +- YODL, for turning the documentation source files (.yo) into manual +pages and TeXinfo source for producing PDF and .info formats; + +- Perl and interactive manual tools, for turning the zshbuiltins(1) +manual into help files that can be displayed by the run-help function. +For example, the colcrt or col tool, not typically required for +installing software, must be available. + +To avoid needing these, the source distribution is supplemented by a +documentation distribution that may be downloaded from the same place as +the source. This provides fully generated documentation with references +to files in the default locations. + Check MACHINES File ------------------- |
