A number of people have asked about the availability of documentation
for the HP X11 widget set (available as part of the user-contributed
software with X11) in a form that can be nicely printed on laser
printers. The existing nroff'ed format does not take advantage of
the capabilities of high-resolution printers and does not contain
such things as the bitmap images showing what the widgets look like.

I have been working with HP to produce a PostScript version of
the documentation for the HP X11 widgets. Troff input for the
documentation is not being made publicly available because of
dependencies on HP internal documentation tools and the Eroff
Desktop Typesetting System from Elan Computer Group, Inc.

This way, users with access to a PostScript printer can print
high-quality copies of the HP X11 widgets documentation without
having to deal with troff, trying to get the right macros, and
trying to port HP's internal documentation tools to your machine.
All that needs be done is to send the files to your printer.

The PostScript files are now available on expo (18.30.0.212) and
hpcvaaz (15.255.72.15) in a compressed tar file. After anonymous
ftp login to expo, cd to contrib and get Xhp.r2doc.ps.tar.Z.
After anonymous ftp login to hpcvaaz, cd to pub/hpXwidgets and
get XwDOC.ps.tar.Z.

Uncompressing and extracting these files will yield a PostScript
file for each chapter, as well as a PostScript file for each
manual page.
