TeX books are easy enough to find.

However, the question is on PasTeX.  I just set this up last night, and
everything works great.  However, English documentation is pretty scarce.
Is there anyone who has translated the docs - especially the showdvi docs?
(I could have a friend translate these long documents for me, but I'd rather
keep the friend)

A couple of questions.  Does flip really save space in fonts, or just save
the space that would have been used by directory entries?  How does the
speed compare to other PD TeX's?
