- The OS/2 version has had the text massaged into the INFO format that
- is used by OS/2 for things like on-line documentation. This allows
- following cross-references, having several different parts of the
- "book" open at once, backtracking, searching on keywords, etc. In
- other words, a sort-of hypertext document.
