Update PS/PDF manual on quimby?

[Sridhar Boovaraghavan]

Could some update the manual (either in PS or PDF) on quimby? I don't
have many of the utilities (on windows) needed to generate a hardcopy
version for v5.10.2.

Thanks,
Sridhar

Ok; I've now updated the PS files on Quimby, and am regenerating the
HTML manual.

I couldn't get the PDF stuff to work, though -- it says

! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [pool size=65381].

when I'm running pdflatex.

It works for me.  Although some of the images don't come out in the
right size for some reason.

I was recommended to bump the pool size parameter upwards, and that
made things work.  So the new manuals are now on Quimby (and probably
www.gnus.org as well, by now).

Increase the pool_size value (I have 750000, you could try 128000 or
so...) in $TEXMF/web2c/texmf.cnf (or $VARTEXMF/web2c/texmf.cnf if you
have that). Assuming some web2c TeX distro.

Greetings,
Jochen

I've found that dvipdfm (from the TeTeX distro) generates better pdf
than most other utils. It generates pdf from the dvi file.

Is this <http://quimby.gnus.org/gnus/manual/gnus.html>? It still says
it's for Gnus 5.8.7. (also big-gnus.html)

Hm...  ah; it's picking up the source code for the manuals from the
wrong place.  I've now re-generated the HTML (and ps/pdf) from the
right texi files.
