- README FOR THE MPATROL LIBRARY DOCUMENTATION
-
-
- This directory may contain preformatted documentation for the mpatrol library.
- The documents will have been generated from the TeXinfo source (or from the
- LaTeX source of the reference card) using a variety of tools and are provided
- partly for convenience and partly for people who do not have suitable formatting
- tools installed on their system. In all cases these documents can be
- regenerated from the source, although there may be slight changes in some files
- due to differences in the systems that they were generated on. Note that the
- UNIX manual pages are not considered part of this documentation (although they
- are kept up to date) and are located in a separate directory.

- the information necessary to generate each of the preformatted files.
