+1. List of pdfTeX documentation files
+=====================================
+
+pdftex-a.pdf (A4 format)
+pdftex-l.pdf (letter format)
+pdftex-s.pdf (screen format)
+pdftex-b.pdf (A5 booklet made from pdftex-a.pdf)
+pdftex-b-e.pdf (A5 booklet, even pages)
+pdftex-b-o.pdf (A5 booklet, odd pages)
+pdftex-syntax.txt
+
+
+2. Installation
+===============
+
+Untar or unzip the distribution file. Change to directory "manual".
+All files are built from pdftex-t.tex via the Makefile or the file
+makefiles.cmd.
+
+2.1 Unix Style
+--------------
+
+See the Makefile. To re-generate the manual PDFs from their sources,
+type:
+
+make allclean; make
+
+To get also the A5 booklet PDFs, type:
+
+make booklet
+
+Finally you might type:
+
+make clean
+
+to remove all unneeded stuff that has accumulated during processing.
+Only the sources, the PDFs, and file pdftex-syntax.txt will be kept.
+
+2.2 Windows Style
+-----------------
+
+Execute file makefiles.cmd.
+
+
+3. How it's done
+================
+
+3.1 Generating pdftex-syntax.txt from pdftex-t.tex
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+pdftex-t.tex --> (awk -f syntaxform.awk) --> pdftex-syntax.txt
+
+
+3.2 Generating title page of manual
+-----------------------------------
+
+pdftex-w.tex --> (pdfetex) --> pdftex-w.pdf
+ --> (expand, fmt, grep) --> pdftex-t.txt
