LR> How about including a WP/text version of all the

Maybe, for me TeX was very fine. I think Unix programmers (djgpp target)
know TeX most of the time as most (or even all) unix systems have
installed a version.

Hey, I just said

  tex libcref
  prthplj libcref

and that's it. Couldn't be easier. Moreover TeX is freeware, for WP
documentation you need a commercial editor as WP or Word.

It is probably a good idea to note in the readme that the documentation
is also available in postscript form. Calling wp a standard....
