Its the man page for linuxcnc's pid module that I want a hard copy of. I'll have to look and see if they have it. It has more pins of i/o than most pid diagrams I've seen on the net. Humm, ISTR my rpi4 building master is making html docs too. It is, and it ain't. Its building them, but not packaging them in a deb. I looked at man 9 pid9.html, looks like exactly what I need.
