This directory contains PDF versions of many of the HTML files
installed with Allegro CL, in the `doc' subdirectory of the Allegro
directory.  That directory contains the Allegro CL documentation, most
of which is in HTML format.  The purpose of providing PDF files is to
allow viewing in a different way and to facilitate printing of parts
of the documentation.

Only HTML files from the [Allegro directory]/doc/ directory and from
the doc/cg/ directory are included.  The individual documentation
pages (contained in subdirectories like doc/operators/ and
doc/variables/) are not available in PDF format.  Also the PDF files
in [Allegro directory]/doc/ (allegrostore.pdf,
basic-lisp-techniques.pdf, and clim-ug.pdf) are not included in this
directory, and some of the HTML files in [Allegro directory]/doc/ are
also left out (usually because they are still preliminary, like
phtml.htm and aserve/aserve.html, or because they are not our files,
like mop/contents.html).

The PDF files in this directory are:

acl-general-information.pdf: 

     This file contains the General Information (as defined in
     doc/contents.htm) HTML files in [Allegro Directory]/doc/.
