You can download postscript versions of SOME of the documentation
directly from:

    omnigate.clarkson.edu/pub/msdos/djgpp/pub

in the files:

    gcc257ps.zip (cpp.ps, gcc.ps)
    gpp257ps.zip (libgplus.ps, iostream.ps, gplusint.ps)
    djdocps.zip  (libcref.ps)

These files can then be printed either directly or via ghostview.
Ghostview can be found on simtel20 in the directory postscrp. With
ghostview, you can print ANY number of pages you like to most printers.
You shouldn't need any other utilities.

There is a potential problem with the postscript files in that the way
they were generated might not suit you. For example the C++ docs that I
generated were formatted for A4 paper. However, the other docs,
generated by Jon Nash on the other side of the Atlantic, will (I
presume) be formatted for US letter paper.


OTOH, the best way to get the docs is to use some form of TeX and
generate them yourself. For MSDOS, I recommend emTeX which can be
obtained by ftp from:

    ftp.tex.ac.uk/pub/archive/systems/msdos/emtex

or  wuarchive.wustl.edu/packages/TeX/systems/msdos/emtex

or  many other sites (try archie)

After TeX-ing the .tex files you will get a .dvi file. emTeX provides a
number of dvidrv drivers to preview the .dvi file on the screen
(dviscr.exe) or print them out (eg dvilql.exe - epson LQ). If you want
to produce postscript output, get dvips.exe (this is available at most
TeX sites). 

Also, TeX and LaTeX are very powerful and well worth learning just for
the hell of it.
