Attached is a .tar.gz of just the PMDB documentation.

Sorry about the attachment.

The proper place for this is in the source tree itself.
I put it there, but it could be some time before it
shows up in the repository outside of Sun.  So, I
thought I had better not spend more time trying to
figure out how all that works, and just send it to
this mailing list.

I tried visiting opensolaris PowerPC related websites.
I saw a source tree, but it is ancient.  I don't have
a clue what revision of the source tree is actually
seen by the world outside Sun Labs.  Navigating the
web sites that I saw did not help.

INSTALLATION
------------
I have not actually tested it outside my workspace.
But, I don't think it has any dependencies on my
environment or workspace.  You need make, makeinfo,
etc. but nothing that depends on being run under
bldenv or anything like that.

That is the theory, anyway.

If you are going to update it and are into ispell,
then you would need ispell and perl to run the
script to prep for ispell.

You should be able to unpack it into an empty directory,
and type 'make', then 'info pmdb'.  Or, just
use 'les' or some pager to browse through the entire
pmdb.info file.

Let me know if that does not work for you.

I have made no attempt to convert to man or to
format and print it.  It is almost certainly lacking
in both of those areas.  My only tests have been to
run 'info'.
