-This directory contains the source to the Python documentation.
+This directory contains the LaTeX source to the Python documentation.
+The documentation is not all finished, but good enough to get you some
+idea of how to program in Python.
 
-Unfortunately it's not not very readable, complete or up-to-date yet --
-in other words, I'm still working on it!
+The following are the important latex source files:
 
-There are four documents and a macro file:
+	tut.tex		tutorial
+	mod.tex		library reference
 
-	macros.ms		macros .so'ed by the documents
+They both read the style option file "myformat.sty".
 
-	tut.ms			informal tutorial
-	mod.ms			description of standard modules
-	ref.ms			Python language reference manual (embryonic)
-	paper.ms		conference paper about Python (embryonic)
+You can use the Makefile to format, preview and print the documents.
+Type "make tut" or "make mod" to preview either document with xdvi.
+Type "make print" to print them both (this only works if your print
+spooler is set up just like mine...), or "make all" to create postscript
+files that you can you can print using your local printing commands.
+Type "make clean" to get rid of all the intermediate files produced by
+the latex process.
 
-XXX There should also be a man page (extracted from sec. 2 of the tutorial)
-
-To typeset one of the documents on the default Postscript printer, chdir
-to this directory (otherwise the macros aren't found!) and issue the
-command
-
-	pstroff -ms file.ms
-
-When typesetting all documents, issue a separate command for each.
-
-You can also use the Makefile, at your own risk.

+You can just as well ignore the Makefile; all you really need is:
+	latex tut
+	latex tut
+	dvips tut | lpr
+and similar for the "mod" document.
