>Description:
I was sorry to found that documentation packages are not working as
mentioned in the FreeBSD FAQ, Question 2.2 ``Is the documentation
available in other formats, such as plain text (ASCII), or
PostScript?''. I created a patch to temporarily remove the text
describing this method, because it is unavailable these days as
there is no documentation packages at all (at least I did not find
any on the FTP servers).
However, I would be happy to help to reanimate these packages.
