I'm going to get the .tar file to Jamal and The Elf. That will contain the
entire catalogue in PDF. From there someone can convert them into whatever
format they find useful.
As a result, I'm not going to mail the PDF of the command line manual but,
rather, I recommend people go to the URL I posted yesterday and download it as
there were too many people who wanted it for me to send individual emails.
I hope this works for everyone.
