+Proof General Documentation
+===========================
+
+The distribution may include pre-built documentation for
+your convenience. Otherwise you will need to run
+
+ make info
+ make dvi
+ make pdf
+ make html
+
+according to what format you'd like. Everything is generated
+from the master Texinfo file ProofGeneral.texi, so you'll
+need the proper tools for conversion. Check the Makefile
+for details.
+
+Front Image for Manual
+----------------------
+If you want a front image on the printed dvi/gs manual, you need to
+have the ProofGeneral.eps file in this directory. You can download a
+compressed version from
+
+http://zermelo.dcs.ed.ac.uk/~proofgen/ProofGeneral/doc/ProofGeneral.eps.gz
+
+This file is not included with the distribution because it is rather
+large (1.6M).
+
+Instead of downloading, you may be able to generate an alternative eps
+from the included ProofGeneral.jpg file using an image manipulation
+program such as gimp or Imagemagick. This will give you a slightly
+different (and degraded) image compared to the distributed one
+mentioned above.
+
+Running "made dvi" will adjust the Texinfo file to make the front
+page blank if there is no ProofGeneral.eps file available.
