[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygwin-doc-1.3-7

[Joshua Daniel Franklin]

An updated version of cygwin-doc is now available. This is a
normal incremental release with no major structural changes.

It includes the latest one-HTML-file and PDF versions of the 
User's Guide, which are also available at the Cygwin web site. 

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the <http://cygwin.com/> web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and click "Next" madly 
until you get to the end of the updating process.

I just downloaded the PDF version of the User's Guide,
cygwin-ug-net.pdf, and about 30% of the pages generate
errors in Acrobat reader 5.1.0 that prevent the pages
from displaying. The error message is:

"There was an error processing a page. There was a
problem reading this document (14)."

Clearing this message produces another:

"Cound not find a font in the Resources dictionary -
using Helvetica instead."

I also tried reading it with Ghostview and got errors
on the same pages.

Thanks for reporting this. I only opened the files and
apparently the title page does not have this problem.
I've updated the PDF on the website and will try to get
a new cygwin-doc together in the next few days.

(The problem, by the way, was apparently because TeX will
not generate missing fonts for PDF output, only PS. So 
after I made a PS version the PDF generation worked. Weird.)
