I too am one of the large number of GNU devotees that does not use TeX and so has a documentation problem - My solution is either to get postscript versions (have a look at abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov [128.155.23.64] in /pub/docs) or alternatively use texi2roff and then edit the output and put back what has been stripped out and tidy up. Any other solutions out there ?
