Please don't.

For software that comes with a GUI (like POV-Ray for Windows), my preferred
choice of information source is - usually - the online help (if only because I
always know exactly where to find it).

For software that does *not* have a GUI (like POV-Ray for Unix), my preferred
choice of information source is one single PDF file. (As for collections of
HTML files, they're an inferior substitute: Aside from them typically being
ugly, you can't full-text-search them that easily. And please don't suggest man
pages - I'm just *using* Linux, I'm not *living* it :P)

No need to print it out that PDF. Just having it sit there, ready to be fired up
(on my secondary display), is enough. No need killing trees for me - but yes,
please do a PDF. A single one.

With a proper TOC, please.
