Package: gpm
Version: 1.19.6-22
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

It would be great if you could include the text and PostScript docs
mentioned in the readme. It would be even better if you could convert
the PostScript to PDF (I use pdf2ps or pdftops) and include the PDF.
:-)

Reason I am making this request: Someone on IRC asked how to use GPM
for copy-paste and how to assign middle-click on a Mac with only one
mouse button. (Another answerer answered "drag for copy, middle-click
for paste" pointed them to
http://www.yellowpigs.net/computers/debianppc_woody).

(Quote from the Readme: 'The directory "./doc" holds the
documentation. The release embeds a postscript file, slightly reduced
to save paper (doc/gpm2.ps), an info one (doc/gpm.info) and a
text-only version (doc/gpmdoc.txt -- but without table of contents, by
now).  Man pages are automatically extracted from the info file, and
are installed with "make install".')

Cheers,
Jason
