it appears that PDF files need no reformatting, and that it is ok to allow long command lines to be truncated by the right margins, or even better, that pronouns that refer back to a noun, are not specific enough.  One has to stop and think, --- to which noun is "this" (a pronoun) referring to.

I am not challenging the technical content, which I have found to be precise, but only that someone should proof read text to ensure good grammar.

No real improvement between pdf version 9.02 and 9.03, after I reported some issues with the former.

It was mostly like the line I have above, meaning it was not in
fixed-width font, 95% I would say.  I modified 19 to be like the rest.
I left <literal> where the context made sense.
