Hi!

I known this could be fine way to embarass myself but I have to ask
anyway!

If I remember correctly in the 3.02 version the docs where shipped as an
postscript document probably made with LaTeX. I have a copy of 3.1 for
windows and have seen the nice help function there. 
Maybe I'm just gettin' old but I prefer the hardcopies. 

Has anyone a postscript version of the 3.1 manual? 

If not. Is there a way to get the clean text so that I can derive a
LaTeX/postscript version of it (maybe even with the right references)?

TIA

Marc

The 3.1 docs are administrated by Chris Young. He uses MS Word.
There are various formats of the docs available, to print, you may want to
use <ftp://povray.org/pub/povray/Official/Docs/povuser.pdf>

I knew it would be embarrasing!

Thank you,
